2025 in Toronto parking tickets

The corpus has 2,051,175 parking tickets for 2025, with set fines adding up to $164,705,020, or an average of $80.30 per ticket. In 2024 there were 2,147,159 tickets, so 2025 was down 4.5%. The City publishes complete records only. Tickets with incomplete records, such as some with out-of-province plates, are left out, so year-to-year totals measure recorded enforcement activity rather than every ticket issued.

Ticketing was busiest from late morning to early afternoon. The noon hour had the most tickets of any hour (157,398), and the five hours from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. made up 34.6% of tickets with a valid time. Overnight enforcement was also heavy: 19.6% of tickets were written between midnight and 5 a.m., with a smaller peak at 3 a.m. (98,680). The quietest hours were 5 a.m. and 11 p.m.

Private property tickets (private and municipal lots) were the largest family, with 21.2% of the total. Next came no-parking tickets during signed hours (16.8%), unpaid meter or pay-and-display tickets (16.6%), no-stopping and rush-hour tickets (15.7%) and permit parking tickets (13.3%). Hydrant, fire-route, accessible-space, sidewalk and bike-lane infractions made up 4.9%. The single most common code was code 3, parking on private property, with 387,901 tickets. It was followed by code 5 (parking during signed prohibited times), code 29 (parking during prohibited times without a permit) and code 207 (meter fee not paid).

On public streets, Yonge St had the most tickets matched to it, about 44,881. Queen St W (33,271), Queen St E, Danforth Ave and College St followed. The single address with the most tickets was 81 Bay St, with 3,425. Enforcement is not spread evenly across the city, so these rankings show where ticketing was concentrated, not where parking rules are broken most often.
