Toronto Police Issue Over 3,500 Tickets in Three-Week Micromobility School Safety Campaign

Toronto Police conducted a focused enforcement campaign from late August to mid-September targeting micromobility vehicle users and back-to-school safety, resulting in more than 3,500 tickets issued for violations near schools and for micromobility-related offenses. The campaign, prompted by City Council recommendations, aimed to raise public awareness and enforce traffic laws applying to bikes, e-bikes, e-scooters, and other similar vehicles. Meanwhile, Leicestershire Police carried out school parking patrols around multiple schools in Oadby, issuing fines for illegal and inconsiderate parking, reflecting community concerns about child safety during school pick-up times. In Reno, Nevada, a pedestrian safety operation from August to September resulted in 180 traffic citations and 46 warnings within active school zones, emphasizing compliance with laws requiring pedestrians to use designated walkways and drivers to yield to pedestrians. These campaigns collectively highlight ongoing efforts by law enforcement across different regions to enhance safety for school children and micromobility users through education and enforcement.
