Brampton’s Automated Speed Enforcement program delivers safer streets

The City of Brampton provided an update revealing the significant, positive results of its Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) program. This new data demonstrates the program’s effectiveness in lowering speeds and creating safer streets.  

“Since launching the ASE program in Brampton, we’ve seen significant reductions in speeding and a remarkable increase in compliance with speed limits – especially in our most high-risk areas, including schools, parks, senior residences and healthcare facilities. Every kilometre over the limit increases the risk of tragedy and ASE is a proven, effective way to change driver behaviour and protect our most vulnerable road users, including children and seniors. With overwhelming community support, we will continue to strengthen this program because every resident deserves to feel safe on Brampton’s streets, at any time of day or night.”
– Rowena Santos, Regional Councillor, Wards 1 and 5; Chair, Legislative Services Section, City of Brampton

Brampton’s first ASE processing centre municipal client  

Brampton’s ASE Processing Centre is welcoming the City of Brantford as its first municipal client, with Brantford set to begin processing ASE tickets through the Brampton facility later this year. 

This milestone marks the progress toward the success of Brampton’s ASE program and demonstrates how municipalities can collaborate to deliver safer streets and equitable enforcement. Together, the two cities are working to enhance road safety.  

Brampton’s Automated Speed Enforcement program 

ASE is a proven traffic-calming tool using technology to help make roads safer for all users. It is a key element of Brampton’s Vision Zero Road Safety Strategy, which aims to eliminate traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries by targeting unsafe driving behaviour.  

First launched in 2020, Brampton’s ASE program was introduced to address speeding in high-risk areas and protect vulnerable road users. Since then, the program has expanded quickly and is showing clear results in improving road safety. To build on this success, the City opened its ASE Processing Centre in September 2024, increasing enforcement capacity and strengthening outcomes across the growing program. Today, there are nearly 200 Community Safety Zones and 185 active camera sites in Brampton.
