That the Safety and Facilities Services Committee recommend to City Council: Whereas many local municipalities employ Administrative Monetary Penalty (“A.M.P.”) systems to enforce parking-related bylaws; and, Whereas the Durham Region Traffic and Parking By-law 03-2021 delegates authority to lower-tier municipalities that operate existing A.M.P. systems to utilize and apply A.M.P. processes to parking-related contraventions on Regional Roads within their municipal boundaries, wherever permitted through their arrangement with the Ministry of Transportation; and, Whereas given that Regional Roads intersect and pass through multiple lower-tier municipalities, this requires greater consistency in penalty amounts and clarity in adjudication processes even more important for residents, visitors, enforcement staff and local municipalities; and, Whereas an ongoing City of Oshawa review of Regional Traffic and Parking By-law 03-2021 identified that additional clarity is needed to improve the effective and consistent implementation of A.M.P.s for parking-related contraventions on Regional Roads, including with respect to applicable penalty amounts and the appeal process; Therefore, be it resolved that based on Item SF-26-27 dated June 8, 2026, Durham Regional Council be requested to direct the appropriate Regional staff to consult with local area municipalities as part of a review to bring forward technical amendments to Regional Traffic and Parking By-law 03-2021 to clarify the A.M.P.
