Parking Ticket Cancellation Guidelines
Toronto City Council has approved the public release of the City's parking ticket cancellation guidelines. The guidelines outline the circumstances in which a City of Toronto parking ticket may be cancelled and the evidence required to support a parking ticket cancellation.
The City of Toronto uses established guidelines to help staff make informed, consistent decisions about parking ticket cancellations. Reasons for cancellation may include bylaw exemptions, an error in a parking ticket, an individual having a valid permit, or a medical emergency.
City staff at parking ticket counters review each disputed ticket and the evidence presented to understand the nature of the infraction and the circumstances surrounding the ticket issued, and to determine whether a cancellation is warranted.
Publishing the cancellation guidelines will help streamline the process for disputing a parking ticket and may reduce the number of requests for trials to dispute parking tickets. If a parking ticket does not meet the requirements for cancellation, or the proper evidence cannot be provided, individuals may choose to pay the ticket rather than request a trial.
