Opinion: Toronto cops and the city’s bylaw enforcement officers issued a projected 1.8 million parking tickets in 2022 — way down from the 2.2 million in 2019. City hall and Toronto police continue to take a light touch with drivers who park illegally.

But there’s one notable municipal revenue area that’s avoiding this kind of drive to generate more cash: parking.report to last week’s meeting of the Toronto Police Services Board

The comparison gets worse when you rewind further. Parking tickets were on the decline even before COVID. In 2011, for example, Toronto drivers got 2.8 million tickets. Go back even further and there were several years when Toronto crossed the three million ticket mark. Why the decline? The police cite recent changes to city streets that resulted in fewer on-street parking spaces in some places — like the CaféTO restaurant patio program and the installation of more bike lanes. The city has also made it easier for drivers to pay for parking with the Green P app, which could be a factor.
