Fines Paid at Service Ontario

Fines Paid at Service Ontario In May of 2017, a plate renewal program was implemented by the Ministry of Transportation whereby all outstanding defaulted driver fines have to be paid in full before one can renew their plates. In 2019, 1,846 fines were collected at MTO through this program. From these payments, revenue of $464,764 was received. This continues to be a positive and efficient method of collecting defaulted fines that may have not have been collected otherwise.

Outstanding Fines Paid

Regardless of how effective the active collection efforts are, there remains a significant number of outstanding fines. As of December 31, 2019, there were approximately 71,430 records of unpaid fines for a total outstanding amount of $45,495,729. (See Table D-2 and D-3 for further details). The significant number of outstanding fines is not just a Windsor specific issue; it is a province wide epidemic.

Many of these older fines (i.e. pre-transfer) have been 'scrubbed' multiple times and all reasonable and appropriate measures to collect have been made. Therefore, it is prudent that a write-off policy be developed in order to address these efforts. POA administration will be looking to adopt a write off policy in 2020, which will be vetted through the Liaison Committee first and subsequently submitted to Windsor City Council for final approval. It's important to note that a write-off policy refers to the cessation of active fine collections and is done for accounting purposes only. It does not absolve a convicted offender from the requirement to pay a fine, as debts to the Crown are owed in perpetuity and are never forgiven.
