Toronto Police concludes two-week Micromobility Enforcement and Education Campaign

Unit:


Case #: n/a

The Toronto Police Service has concluded a two-week city-wide campaign focused on micromobility safety, with enforcement of unsafe and illegal riding continuing as part of regular traffic enforcement.

From August 10 to August 24, 2026, officers across the city engaged with riders to promote the safe and lawful use of micromobility vehicles and address behaviours that put riders, pedestrians and other road users at risk.

During the two-week campaign, the emphasis was on education, with officers using enforcement where they observed more serious public safety concerns. This included illegal sidewalk riding, travelling the wrong way in cycle tracks, illegal e-moped use in cycle tracks, and parking in bike lanes.

The Service is reminding the public that e-scooters are not permitted to be operated in any public space in the City of Toronto.

Service-wide, 324 tickets and warnings related to identified micromobility devices were issued during the campaign. This is a preliminary total, as some handwritten tickets are still being transcribed and are not yet reflected in the available data. The Parking Enforcement Unit also issued 1,277 parking tickets for vehicles parked in the bike lane during the campaign.

The campaign supported the City of Toronto's ongoing Rules for Rideables education campaign and continued the collaborative efforts of the Toronto Police Service and the City to increase awareness of micromobility safety ahead of the back-to-school season.

While the two-week campaign placed a strong emphasis on education and awareness, officers will continue to enforce micromobility offences across the city. As awareness of the rules increases, enforcement will focus on riders who operate illegally or engage in behaviour that puts pedestrians, cyclists and other road users at risk.

Officers will continue to enforce the Highway Traffic Act, City of Toronto by-laws and other applicable legislation, while educating road users where appropriate.

The Toronto Police Service reminds everyone using Toronto's roads, sidewalks and cycling infrastructure that safety is a shared responsibility. Whether driving, cycling, riding an e-bike or other micromobility device, or walking, making safe and lawful choices helps protect everyone.
