The ITE Toronto Section, with support from event sponsor Arcadis IBI Group, presents a free panel discussion on Automated Speed Enforcement. This event will be held hybrid, with in-person attendees having access to a thirty-minute networking session before the event starts.
Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) is an automated system that uses a camera and a speed measurement device to help enforce speed limits in school zones and community safety zones. The Provincial Government authorized the use of ASE in municipalities back in 2017 and recent legislation will lead to rapid growth of these programs throughout the province.
Join our expert panel virtually or in-person at the Arcadis IBI Group Smart City Sandbox (4th Floor) to learn more about this critical safety technology that the public has strong feelings about, both positive and negative. Attendees will be able to ask questions of the panelists with preference being given for questions from in-person attendees.
Paid parking is available onsite; however, as always ITE Toronto encourages in-person attendees to consider transit options. The venue is a short four-minute walk from the St. Clair TTC Subway Station.
