You are asking about Ontario Government income so I am going to focus on the OPP... Municipal police forces 'share' the revenue with the Ontario Govt ... I haven't tracked down a Ont Gov't document yet that has this number...have you tried contacting your MPP? Here is what I found on the OPP anyway. In 2004 Total OPP Traffic Violations were: Speeding 263,777 Impaired 11,138 Seatbelt 36,502 They do not have a category for parking as that would generally fall under Municipal Policing (so would alot of the above too since the OPP only covers the major highways and selected municipalities that 'rent' thier services). Source: http://www.opp.ca/bplan/english/oppplanen2005.pdf According to these people...98% of traffic ticket revenue in Ontario is speeding related : Source : http://www.motorists.com/ma/speeding.html Now in Ontario the fines are such per KM (source:http://www.ontariocourts.on.ca/ontario_court_justice/set_fines/schedule_43.htm) approx: 1- 19 $ 2.50 20-34 $ 3.75 35-49 $ 6.00 so lets say the AVG person is caught in the middle at 34km over the speed limit... 34*3.75=$127.50 Now multiply this by 263,777 and you get 33.6 million dollars. Again..this is just a guesstimate based on above and is ONLY the OPP...remember that most traffic/speeding tickets are NOT given out by the OPP! Hope this helps in some small way! |
