As cities aim to improve their sustainability, by improving air quality and congestion, the City of Toronto is looking at ways to make it easier to ticket cars blocking bike lanes by moving to an Administrative Monetary Penalty (AMP) system. And to save some money in the process.

We weren't able to find much on the City's website talking about details. The survey link asking for input on an AMP system is now defunct. But media reports from early December are indicating that bylaw officers will be able to ticket vehicles illegally parked in bike lanes by taking a photo of the car, looking up the registered owner, and then mailing a violation notice to the offender. The new City By-law could be in force by spring 2016.
