Automated Speed Enforcement

Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) is an automated system that detects and captures images of vehicles travelling faster than the posted speed limit.

The ASE Program has ended
On November 14, 2025, the Town of Halton Hills ended the use of ASE cameras. This change is due to the Province of Ontario's new Bill 56, Building a More Competitive Economy Act, 2025. If you received an ASE penalty before November 14, 2025, the penalty is still valid and must be paid. To avoid extra fees, please pay your penalty within 30 days. Please continue to follow posted speed limits at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve received a ticket. What are my options?

Vehicle owners who receive a penalty order have two options:

Option 1: Voluntary Payment

Pay the penalty notice online
By mail
In person

Option 2: Dispute

Online: dispute the issuance of the penalty order with a Town official by completing the online dispute form.

A request for a review must be submitted no later than 30 days after the date of service of the penalty order. After your review with the Screening Officer, if you are not satisfied with the decision, you may appeal the decision by scheduling a hearing with a Hearing Officer. A request for a hearing must be submitted no later than 30 days after the Screening Officer has provided their decision.

Please note: the Hearing Officer’s decision is FINAL. If you request a screening or hearing review, payment is not required until a decision has been made. Once full or partial payment has been made, the matter is considered to be resolved and can no longer be reviewed and any further right to a review has been waived.

Can I receive demerit points on an ASE ticket?

No. The only consequence of an ASE penalty notice is a fine; no demerit points are applied.

What does an ASE penalty order include?

The owner of the motor vehicle is responsible for any ASE penalty order issued to that plate. The penalty order will include a photograph of the vehicle, location of the offence, speed of the vehicle, detailed payment/dispute information and the fine amount. Like speeding tickets issued by police officers, the fine amount will be based on how much the driver exceeded the posted speed limit.

What can I submit for screening and hearing reviews?

The owner of the motor vehicle must provide credible evidence to support the request for a review. Failure to provide sufficient evidence will result in the penalty order being upheld.

**Financial hardship – if the payment of your penalty order will result in undue financial hardship, you are required to submit documentation for consideration by the Screening Officer. Types of supporting documentation include;

Copy of your Canada Revenue Agency Notice of Tax Assessment for the last full calendar year; and,

Proof of receipt of any income supplement and the amount of such supplement, including Old Age Security, Canada Pension and other pension information;

Guaranteed Income Supplement;

Disability Pension;

Ontario Student Assistance Program;

Any child and/or spousal support orders.

What if my vehicle and/or plates were stolen and I have received a penalty order?

If your vehicle and/or plates were stolen, you are required to submit the following for consideration by the Screening Officer and/or Hearing Officer:

A written explanation of the reason for the request

A copy of the police incident report from the jurisdiction in which it was reported

What happens to a penalty order in the case of a medical emergency?

If you are claiming there was a medical emergency, you are required to submit the following for consideration by the Screening Officer and/or Hearing Officer:

A written explanation of the reason for the request

Documentation of evidence that an ambulance was unavailable at the time of an emergency

Why can't I book a screening or hearing after entering the penalty order information?

If you are trying to request a review or a hearing and the tab to select is unavailable, this means you no longer have the option to dispute the penalty order based on the date the penalty order was deemed served. Your only option is to pay the outstanding penalty order.

Note: You have 30 days from the date of deemed served or 30 days from the Screening Officer’s decision to either pay or request a review. If you miss the deadline, you may request an extension by contacting the Enforcement Coordinator at 905-873-2600, ext. 2633 or by email at ase@haltonhills.ca. You will need to demonstrate extenuating circumstances that warrant an extension of time. A Screening or Hearing Officer will review your request and make a decision.

What happens if I don’t pay my Penalty order?

Failure to pay a penalty order within 30 days of the date deemed served or before the due date established by a Screening or Hearing Officer will result in an additional $20 late payment fee being added to the total penalty amount and the outstanding penalty order will be referred to the Ministry of Transportation resulting in plate denial. This means your vehicle permit is not being renewed and a new permit will not be issued until the total penalty amount and all applicable fees have been paid.

What if I can’t make attend or complete my appointment?

An additional $60 administrative fee will automatically be added to the total penalty amount if a vehicle owner fails to complete or attend a review by a Screening or Hearing Officer, pursuant to Ontario Regulation 355/22.

Can someone else act on my behalf during a screening review or hearing review appointment?

Yes. You will need to authorize someone to act as your representative during a screening review or hearing review appointment. Please complete the Authorization to Act as an Agent form and submit by email at ase@haltonhills.ca prior to the scheduled appointment.

I wasn’t the driver – isn’t that a defence?

No. In Ontario, speeding, when detected through the use of an automated speed enforcement system is an owner liability offence. Legislation does not allow for the capture of images of individuals who are driving through ASE-enforced community safety zones. Therefore, given the restrictions, only the owner of the motor vehicle – the licence plate holder – can be charged.

What if I didn’t see the posted speed limit and/or Community Safety Zone signage?

The presence of a speed limit or a Community Safety Zone is valid whether or not the sign was seen. Drivers are expected to be aware of posted signage. Once designated and signed, a speed limit in a Community Safety Zone is in effect and subject to increased penalties.

I have multiple penalty orders – can I submit one Screening Review request for all of them?

A separate Screening Review request must be submitted for each individual penalty order. Each penalty order is reviewed independently, so a separate review request is required for each one.
