If you got one of the Brampton speed camera tickets issued before Ontario banned the program, you still have to pay it or dispute it. The province’s ban stopped new tickets from being issued, but it did not cancel old ones, according to the City of Brampton.
What changed
Ontario passed legislation, the Building a More Competitive Economy Act, 2025, that prohibits municipalities from operating automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras. Brampton’s cameras stopped issuing tickets on November 14, 2025.
The city says it is exploring ways to repurpose its ASE staff and resources and apply technology in new ways to support road safety.
Are old tickets still valid?
Yes. The city says any ASE ticket issued before November 14, 2025 remains valid. You must either pay it or dispute it.
How to pay a Brampton speed camera ticket
According to the city’s FAQ, you can:
- Pay online or dispute through the “Pay or dispute your ticket” page on brampton.ca
- Pay by phone at 905-874-2404 using the automated system (a $2.50 processing fee plus tax applies per ticket)
- Pay by mail by sending a cheque or money order to: The City of Brampton, P.O. Box 93, Brampton, Ontario L6V 2K7
Use the details on your own ticket notice, since your deadline and options are listed there.
What happens if you ignore a ticket?
The city says a ticket that isn’t paid or appealed within 30 days is affirmed, meaning the penalty is confirmed and final. Unpaid tickets also add administrative fees. Past-due penalties are sent to the Ontario Registrar of Motor Vehicles, which can refuse to renew your existing licence plate or issue new ones.
Why the program ended
Premier Doug Ford framed the ban as an affordability measure and called the cameras ineffective. Several municipalities and groups, including the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, opposed the plan. Brampton council voted to keep its program before the ban took effect.
A Brampton staff report said speeds fell by an average of more than nine km/h across camera locations, and five locations saw drops of more than 20 km/h. A day before the ban took effect, the province announced $210 million for municipalities to pay for speed bumps, roundabouts and flashing signs instead, though Toronto’s mayor said the amount fell short of what her city needed.
