MICROMOBILITY ENFORCEMENT INCREASING AUGUST 25 - SEPTEMBER 13 Image of an EV, e bike and e scooter

MEDIA CENTRE Corporate Communications responds to all Media Requests and produces News Releases, Factsheets, Feature Stories and Videos as well as maintains tps.ca News Release Toronto Police Service increasing enforcement of micromobility vehicles Unit: Traffic Services C Published: Monday, August 25, 2025, 8:00 AM

Today, the Toronto Police Service is launching a three-week traffic safety enforcement campaign focusing on micromobility vehicles across Toronto. As more and more people operate these vehicles, education and enforcing the law is more important than ever, especially as the back-to-school season begins. Running from today until Saturday, September 13, this campaign will focus on education and enforcement of micromobility users on local, collector, and arterial roads, including bike lanes, sidewalks, and crosswalks. As students head back to school, officers will also concentrate on traditional school zone safety, paying close attention to drivers who choose to speed; drive aggressively, distracted or impaired; and park or drive within cycle lanes. Micromobility vehicles describe small, compact, low-speed vehicles. They can include bicycles, electric bikes, e-mopeds, electric kick-scooters (e-scooters), and more.

Officers will educate members of the public and enforce the Highway Traffic Act and City of Toronto by-laws on all micromobility vehicles for this campaign. This campaign is in response to a City Council recommendation for Toronto Police and City of Toronto to collaborate on an educational campaign and enforcement blitzes to enhance public awareness of micromobility-related safety issues, including illegal sidewalk riding, wrong way riding in cycle tracks, illegal e-moped use in cycle tracks, and illegal parking in bike lanes. The City of Toronto's educational campaign began this summer, and Toronto Police have been working closely with the City as part of this education and enforcement initiative. This enforcement campaign also builds on the 'Safe Rides, Safe Streets' campaign conducted by Traffic Services officers in November 2024, but will extend service-wide with a broader focus on education and enforcement. It makes no difference what kind of operator you are, whether operating a motor vehicle or a micromobility vehicle, the laws of the road apply to all.
