MARTOW CALLS FOR CRACKDOWN ON PARKING PERMIT ABUSE

QUEEN’S PARK – This morning, Ontario PC GTA Affairs Critic Gila Martow (MPP for Thornhill) questioned the Minister of Government and Consumer Services on his plan to mitigateaccessible parking permit abuse.

“The Toronto Police Service’s ‘Abuse It and Lose It’ campaign has come to an end with shocking results. Officers inspected over 1,565 vehicles to ensure accessible permits were being used properly. Police issued 862 parking tickets and charged 293 individuals in just two weeks!” stated Martow.
Several weeks ago, Martow had asked the Minister to address the issue of accessible parking permit abuse. Today, she suggested the initiative should be taken provincewide.
“The success of the ‘Abuse It or Lose It’ campaign indicates a greater need for enforcement as it appears 1 in 5 permits is being abused. The Toronto Police did an amazing job here in Toronto. What is the Minister planning to do in order to crack down on accessible parking permit abuse across the province?” asked Martow.
