Fines for failing to pay the TTC’s $3.30 fare are $425.
Meanwhile, every day, thousands of drivers are given $30 parking tickets for failing to properly pay for public storage of their vehicle.
Why is there such a large discrepancy?

Olivia Chow will be the first Toronto mayor to ride a bike to City Hall since the 1980s!
Could this be the start of a golden era for cycling and active transportation in Toronto?
Have our streets become safer for riding a bike since John Sewell was mayor?

Parking fines are a huge source of revenue for the city (~$100m). So why were there 400,000 fewer tickets issued this year compared to 2019?
Bike Share pricing is up and TTC fares have increased. The $30 price of a parking fine has been the same for over 10 years. Why?

Recommendation to remove the $5-per-hour maximum for on-street parking carried last night 19-4!
Private car use has been heavily subsidized in Toronto for far too long.
Increasing the price of parking will improve our public realm, health, and safety. It will allow for greater investment in Toronto’s active transportation network and public transit capacity.
