Automated Speed Enforcement
Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) is an automated system that uses a camera and a speed measurement device to enforce speed limits.
Innisfil's ASE program ended on November 14, 2025 following the adoption of Ontario's Bill 56, which repealed Ontario Regulation 398/19 – Automated Speed Enforcement. Penalties for speed infractions captured by ASE cameras prior to November 14 remain valid and must be paid.
ASE Tickets and Fines
Tickets are issued to the registered owner of the vehicle regardless of who was driving. For instructions on how to pay your Automated Speed Enforcement ticket, please see the back of the notice you received in the mail.
We’ve been made aware that residents are receiving fraudulent texts about speed camera tickets. The Town of Innisfil will never ask for payment information over text. Please call us at 705-436-3710 to verify any information that seems suspicious.
The penalty is only a fine. Tickets issued via Automated Speed Enforcement do not result in demerit points and do not impact the registered owner’s driving record.
Like speeding tickets issued by police officers, the fine is based on how much the driver exceeded the speed limit. Fines are set by the Ontario Court of Justice Chief Judge and listed in Schedule D Highway Traffic Act Speeding – Community Safety Zone. Fines are doubled in community safety zones, even if the violation occurred outside school hours.
ASE Locations and Certificates
Before their removal, Innisfil's cameras rotated through Community Safety Zones every few months. A Community Safety Zone is a designated area to identify it as a road segment of higher risk or concern. Many Community Safety Zones are located close to schools.
If you received a ticket, you can determine the camera location in the table below. “Municipal Speed Camera in Use" signs were installed when cameras were active and tickets were being issued.

How it works
When a vehicle exceeds a threshold speed over the posted speed limit, the Automated Speed Enforcement system captures an image of the vehicle and licence plate. Threshold speeds will not be disclosed.
A Provincial Offences Officer reviews the image before a ticket is issued. Once verified, the ticket is mailed to the registered plate holder at the address on file with the Province within 30 days of the offence. The ticket will include a digital copy of the image taken by the Automated Speed Enforcement camera and an enlargement of the licence plate, along with options for ticket payment or appeal.
How the funds are used
When the program was operational, we used the funds to offset the costs of the ASE program (camera hardware and servicing, signage, processing fees, and other support expenses).
Any net revenue after expenses was transferred to a traffic and road safety reserve. These funds support initiatives related to traffic safety education, enforcement, and engineering measures such as signage, pavement markings, lights, etc.
ASE Program Background
- In 2017, Ontario authorized the use of Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) in municipalities to address ongoing issues with speeding in school zones and community safety zones.
- In March 2023, Town Council approved the recommendations in a staff report regarding ASE.
- The first ASE camera went live in November 2025, with another three cameras added into the rotation over time.
- All ASE cameras in Innisfil were deactivated on November 14, 2025, following provincial legislation banning ASE cameras in Ontario municipalities.
