Does the camera vendor keep a portion of the fines collected from speed camera tickets? No. The Region collects and retains 100% of the fines from speed camera tickets. No portion of the fine amounts collected goes to the camera vendor. The Region pays a daily rate to lease the cameras. The camera vendor, Jenoptik, is a global company with significant Canadian operations. Provincial fees are required to be added to speed camera fines. The Victim Component Surcharge is paid to the Ministry of Attorney Generalβs Victim Justice Fund, which supports programs and community agencies that assist victims of Criminal Code offences in Ontario. An administrative fee of $8.25 is paid to the Ministry of Transportation to obtain access to the name and most recent address of the vehicle licence plate holder.
The Region of Waterloo should be speaking up more that it entirely controls the revenue and processing of its automated speed enforcement program. It's not some kind of private revenue-sharing scheme like people have convinced themselves it is

20.06.2025 16:17 β π 8 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Free fare proposals attract a lot of attention but what doesnβt get enough is universal passes. Here in Waterloo Region, GRT has agreements with local student unions. At ~40% of monthly pass price, U-pass turns student card into a transit pass, gets ridership up, and is a predictable revenue stream

Piece in the Waterloo record talking about how KW may not be getting better GO service for a long time, but . . . that's not the case! Oddly (I've been filling this gap for half a decade) Metrolinx is not communicating all the specific work it's doing!

Four people on a paved road, standing or sitting with bicycles, holding or displaying Pride flags. The person on the left is standing beside a black road bike, wearing a black t-shirt with a rainbow flag design, black shorts, and rainbow-striped socks. The person in the center front is sitting in a three-wheeled adaptive bicycle with a rainbow flag design on the front panel, wearing a black t-shirt and glasses. Behind them, another person stands beside a bicycle, wearing a white t-shirt that says "love is love". On the right, a person stands wearing a red shirt, teal shorts, rainbow-striped socks, and holding a small Pride flag. Two more bicycles are parked in the background on the right. The sun shines brightly on the trees and foliage in the background. In the bottom right corner is a logo for "SPECTRUM Waterloo Region's Rainbow Community Space".
