WHEREAS the RCMP are responsible for enforcing parking regulations in rural areas; AND WHEREAS the process required to ticket andor tow parking offenders is time consuming and takes policing resources away from other priorities: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that regional districts be granted the authority to enforce parking regulations within their boundaries.
Ministry of Transportation Infrastructure Currently the Motor Vehicle Act provides municipalities with the authority to enforce parking regulations within their boundaries. The same authority is not provided to regional districts. Research is required to understand the basis for the difference and determine whether there were any specific reasons for excluding the regional districts when the original legislation was enacted. Based upon the research, further consultation and policy analysis may be required before considering the change.
