Ontario is introducing a new computerized
vehicle registration system which is„desigii-
ed to improve the accuracy and timeliness of
its recorded information, The new system
•will provide fast; more efficient up-toqlate
data to the public, police and courts.
During the cOurse of a year, over 9 million
transactions, such as new registrations,
renewals and -transfers, are entered into the
system and over 3 million , enquiries abut
owner and vehicle information sire made by
police alone, , •
Six provinces and 33 ,stides are currently
using this "Plate to Owner" system.
There are five main ways in Which the new
concept differs from the Old: ,
— "Plate to Owner";
single registration fee;
.--..stakgered renewals;
— denial of reneWal;
• -- online computer processing.

the Vehicles, Under the new system licence
plates are associated with the owners. They
may change vehicles, but their plates will
stay with the owners. • • •
When selling or scrapping a vehicle, the
owner will reinove the plates and keep them,
so they may be attached to any new vehkle,
within the same class, or returned to MTC,
1( 110 new vehicle ispurchased.
It will be the buyer's responsibility to
report any such transactions to MTC within
sht days.
There will be no new issue of licence
plates; plates clam* in use will be
retained.
If a vehicle is purchased, and the new
owner does not have plates, they will be
provided when the vehicle is registered at a
licence issuing office. '
tinder the current concept, wrongful
'conviction for parking offences often occur
because the vehicle sale is not reported to
MTC, sod ownership is not transferred.

With the new system, the plate number
always reflects the registered owner of the
vehicle thus' will provide more I accurate,.
up -to -late record of vehicle registration for
the public, police and courts.
Single „Registratkin Fee'
As is the case with the current system, the
annual validation sticker will be .physically
attached to the plate.
However, since the plate will in future be
associated with the owner and not the
vehicle, •and the plate will move with the
owner betweenvehicles of the same class
(from one passenger car. to , 'another, for
example), the annual fee can 110 longer, be
determined by the engine size qf any specific
vehicle. • . '. -
Therefore, a single fee structure has been
,set up for Passenger vehicles and commer-
ciaVvehicles 3;000 kg and under, regardless
Of their engine size. There will also be a
single fee for motorcycles and mopeds.
The fee schedules are as. follows:
• Southeni • Ontario and • Corporations in
Northern Ontario: Passenger cars: c$48;
Commercial vehicles • under 2,400 kg, for
personal use only: $48; Commercial vehicles
3,000 kg and under: S72, Motorcycles: $24;
Mopeds: S6.
Northern Ontario: Passenger cars; $24;
Commercial vehicles under 2,400 kg for
personal use only: S24; Commercial vehicles
3,000 kg and under $72; Motorcycles: $12
Mopeds: $6.
The fee schedule for commercial vehicles
over 3,000 ,kg will not \ change,
MTC ,exaniined many other registration
systems in North America before opting for
this particular one. Some began a "Plate to
Owner" system with a graduated fee scale,
but had to change to a single registration fee
when it became far too complicated, result -
big in an inefficient nightmare of red tape.
Staggered Renewals
At present, all motor vehicles are
registered for a period of one year with, in
the case of passenger vehicles, expiring on
December 31 of each year. Traditionally, a
,
two-month grace period extends this dead-
line for renewal to the end of February, at
