The City of Toronto has launched a page on the municipal website which explains how drivers may quickly appeal parking tickets. In fact, the appeal may be submitted by email or facsimile. The appeal must come with a valid pay-and-display receipt. Reasons for appeal include tickets that have been issued as a result of a broken or out of service pay-and-display machine or parking meter, pay-and-display receipts that have not been displayed properly, or pay-and-display receipts that were printed incorrectly. Some comment has arisen as to how an out-of-service meter can provide proof of payment but this may another reason to make sure you have your camera handy. A picture can identify a faulty meter. It’s a beginning as they say. Here is a previous post of parking ticket rules.
