Traffic Tickets in Windsor, Ontario

Ontario’s Provincial Offences Act lets municipalities run their own provincial offences courts to handle matters like traffic tickets, bylaw infractions, and other non-criminal charges. The underlying Highway Traffic Act rules that define speeding, careless driving, and similar offences are identical across the province — but the local court location, mailing address, and payment process are set by each municipality, so what applies in Windsor won’t necessarily apply in a neighbouring city.

Windsor's Provincial Offences office

The City of Windsor lists its Provincial Offences office at Suite 401, 400 City Hall Square East, Windsor, Ontario N9A 7K6, with a listed phone number of 519-255-6555. The city notes that Provincial Offences Act tickets cover speeding and other Highway Traffic Act violations, distinct from municipal regulatory bylaw tickets that may be issued under a different process.

Ways to pay

Windsor accepts a notably wide range of payment methods for provincial offence tickets: cash, credit card, debit (Interac), money order, personal cheque, and online banking bill payment, in addition to its dedicated online ticket payment site. Mailed cheques should be made payable to "The City of Windsor Provincial Offences" with the ticket number referenced in the memo line, and sent to the Suite 401 City Hall Square East address above.

Getting help with a specific ticket

For questions about a specific ticket, Windsor's Provincial Offences division lists a dedicated email address, poa.tickets@citywindsor.ca, alongside its phone line — useful if you need clarification on a deadline or amount before deciding how to respond, since options and timelines are set out on the ticket itself.
