Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) is an automated system that uses a camera and a speed measurement device to enforce speed limits. It is an effective tool to help reduce speeds and alter driver behaviours with the goal of improving road safety.
Bill 56 received Royal Assent on November 3, 2025 which repeals Ontario Regulation 398/19 – Automated Speed Enforcement as of November 14, 2025. Penalties for speed infractions captured by ASE cameras prior to November 14 remain valid. We're consulting with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to determine what's required upon decommissioning ASE cameras in school zones.

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 ASE 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 ASE 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 will be 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
|
How do ASE cameras work? |
|
When a vehicle exceeds a threshold speed over the posted speed limit, the ASE 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 ASE camera and an enlargement of the licence plate, along with options for ticket payment or appeal. |
|
How are the funds used? |
|
The purpose of ASE is not revenue generation. It’s about community safety. The municipality uses the funds from the fine payments to offset the costs of the ASE program (camera hardware and servicing, signage, processing fees, and other support expenses). Any net revenue after expenses is transferred to a traffic and road safety reserve. These funds support initiatives related to the three main areas of traffic safety:

|
Why does the registered plate holder receive the ticket instead of the person who was driving when the ticket was issued? |
|
Under the Highway Traffic Act, drivers can be held responsible for how their vehicles are being used. ASE systems cannot capture images of drivers or passengers, so owner liability is in effect and results in the registered plate holder receiving the ticket. |
Background
Speeding has long been a concern of many Innisfil residents. ASE is a new tool that has shown improved traffic safety in other communities.
- 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 February 2023, Local Authority Services (LAS) invited Innisfil to participate in a project that would help make ASE services accessible to smaller and medium-sized municipalities.
- In March 2023, Town Council approved the recommendations in a staff report regarding ASE and the invitation from LAS.
- In April 2023, Town Council approved the recommendations in a staff report for the implementation of ASE in Innisfil and a formal agreement with LAS.
- In February 2025, Town Council approved expansion of the ASE program to include 5 cameras for speed-based enforcement that will rotate across town.
- On November 3, 2025, the Ontario Government's Bill 56 received Royal Assent which no longer allows the use of automated speed enforcement per the Highway Traffic Act.
