New Service Delivery Review Resource |
|
|
Hundreds of municipal service delivery reviews completed under both the Municipal Modernization Program and the Audit and Accountability Fund. are now available to on our website under the Media Tab.
The Municipal Modernization Program was an important part of the Ontario government’s plan to help municipalities lower costs and improve services for residents and businesses over the long term. The MMP helped small and medium sized municipalities to find efficiencies and implement a wide range of initiatives to digitize, streamline and/or integrate programs and services with neighbouring communities. Eligible projects included: service delivery reviews, software modernization, operational and performance reviews, shared service assessments, and strategic/master plan creation.
The Audit and Accountability Fund helped large municipalities find efficiencies via service delivery reviews, modernization reviews, digital transformation studies, streamlined development approval process reviews, and service integration reviews. This rich resource is available to everyone, not just OMAA members, and provides academics and practitioners with over 250 reports and reviews of key municipal services and programs. |

Brampton Automated Speed Enforcement Processing Centre |

New Opportunity: City of Brampton Automated Speed Enforcement Processing Centre
Speeding is a common safety concern in communities across Ontario. To achieve safer streets for all road users, many municipalities are implementing Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) systems.
ASE is a proven, automated system that uses cameras and speed measurement devices to help enforce speed limits in school zones and community safety zones. More information on the benefits ASE programs can bring to communities can be found at www.aseontario.com.
As one of Canada’s fastest growing large cities, the City of Brampton will establish an ASE Camera Processing Centre by late summer 2024. In addition to serving Brampton’s ASE needs, the new facility can process ASE images and issue Penalty Orders on behalf of other Ontario municipalities. Brampton is interested in assessing the level of interest in extending their services to other municipalities such as yours. Partnering with the City of Brampton on your ASE program offers several advantages: -
Increased Efficiency and Capacity: Ability to process higher image volumes compared to other Ontario processing centres
- Camera Flexibility: Brampton’s supplier allows other municipalities to purchase cameras through their contract, and anticipates seamless integration of existing cameras into their centre
-
Revamped Enforcement Practices: Simplified and faster processing of Penalty Orders through Administrative Penalties rather than POA offences, eliminating reliance on Provincial Offence Courts
- Equitable Enforcement Standards: Consistent and impartial enforcement.
- Improved Road Safety: ASE effectively alters driver behaviour to reduce speeding
To explore this potential opportunity and discuss the benefits of the program, please email ASEPC@brampton.ca to schedule a meeting before June 30, 2024. |
