Changes to Automated Speed Enforcement

On September 25, 2025, the Provincial Government announced its intention to introduce legislation that will ban the use of municipal automated speed enforcement cameras across the province. If passed, this legislation would prevent the use of municipal speed cameras in Ontario immediately upon Royal Assent.

The province intends to establish a new provincial fund to assist affected municipalities in implementing alternative safety measures, including initiatives such as speed bumps, roundabouts, raised crosswalks and curb extensions, as well as public education and improved signage, in an effort to slow down drivers.

The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) has supported the use of ASE tools as an important traffic safety measure, specifically through a 2021 resolution. Our position has been public since that date. While the province has changed its position, we have clearly indicated that Ontario’s police leaders view ASE not as a revenue tool, but as a traffic safety tool.
