Transportation Ontario 3 Minutes Read · published February 11, 2026

In Mississauga, Ontario the city does not operate tolled bridges or tunnels within municipal infrastructure and municipal bylaws focus on road use, bridges maintenance and traffic enforcement rather than toll-setting. For municipal bylaws and road responsibilities see the City of Mississauga bylaws and roads pages^[1]. Nearby tolled routes crossing the region, including the provincially operated/private 407 ETR, set tolls and fees under their own authority; those rates and payment rules are published by the operator^[2].

Penalties & Enforcement

Mississauga municipal bylaws do not publish municipal bridge or tunnel toll rates; enforcement within the city focuses on bylaw offences such as illegal parking, obstructing bridges or unsafe loads under traffic and road maintenance bylaws. Specific monetary penalties for toll evasion on private or provincial tolled facilities are not set by the City of Mississauga and are therefore not specified on the cited municipal pages^[1]. For operator-managed toll highways, the operator publishes tolls, administrative charges and collections procedures on its official site^[2].

Mississauga does not collect bridge or tunnel tolls as a municipal revenue source.

Monetary fines: not specified on the cited City of Mississauga pages for municipal tolls; see operator pages for private/provincial toll amounts^[1]^[2].
Escalation: first, repeat and continuing offence treatment for toll non-payment is not specified in Mississauga bylaws for tolls; operator rules govern escalations on tolled routes^[2].
Non-monetary sanctions: potential outcomes on tolled routes may include administrative holds, vehicle registration referral or collection action, but municipal non-toll bylaw actions can include orders to remedy, seizure for unpaid municipal fines, or prosecution; specific bylaw sections not specified on the cited municipal page^[1].
Enforcer: municipal bylaw enforcement and roads inspectors enforce city bylaws; toll operator enforcement is managed by the operator. Contact Mississauga By-law Enforcement for local complaints and the toll operator for toll disputes^[1]^[2].
Appeals and review: appeals of municipal bylaw tickets follow city procedures (court/administrative review) as set out in the applicable bylaw or ticket; time limits and routes for toll operator disputes are published by the operator and are not specified on the cited municipal page^[1]^[2].
