Ramara’s ASE program moving forward later this year

Ramara, Ont. / Aug. 26, 2025 – The Township of Ramara is advising the community that its Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) program will be launched later this year as the Township takes additional time to review the program details and address final contractual requirements.

The ASE program was originally anticipated to launch this August. The Township remains committed to implementing an ASE program that is fair, transparent, and effective in improving road safety.

“Other municipalities have already gone through this process, and we’ve seen what has worked well and what hasn’t,” said Mayor Basil Clarke. “We want to give people ample notice and make sure this program is fair, open, and focused on road safety. Drawing on lessons from other communities, we are taking this additional time to thoroughly review the program.”

At its meeting on Aug. 25, 2025, Council delegated authority to staff to finalize the Inter-Municipal Shared Services Agreement with the Township of Essa, which will provide services as the Municipal Processing Centre for Ramara’s program.

Permanent signage advising that municipal speed cameras are coming is being installed at the three designated Community Safety Zone locations for Phase 1 of the program, which includes:

• Concession Road 4 (Brechin)
• Muley Point Road
• Creighton Street

These signs will remain in place to remind drivers that enforcement is coming and to encourage safer driving habits immediately.

The Township’s ASE program is being delivered through a cost-sharing agreement with its vendor, covering camera equipment, installation, maintenance, and replacement if needed, with no additional burden on taxpayers.

The Township will continue to provide updates as implementation approaches. For full program details, FAQs, and updates, visit ramara.ca/ASE.
