Matrículas de vehículos de Ontario

La provincia canadiense de Ontario exigió por primera vez a sus residentes que registraran sus vehículos de motor en 1903. Los titulares de los registros proporcionaban sus propias placas de matrícula para su exhibición hasta 1911, cuando la provincia comenzó a emitir placas. [1] Actualmente, las placas son emitidas por el Ministerio de Transporte de Ontario (MTO). La ubicación de las placas está especificada por la Ley de Tráfico por Carretera [2] y el Reglamento 628 de la Ley. [3]

La corona

El símbolo de una corona que representa la Corona de Canadá ha aparecido en casi todas las placas de matrícula de Ontario desde 1937, cuando se utilizó por primera vez para conmemorar la coronación del rey Jorge VI y la reina Isabel . Las excepciones a esto incluyen una serie de placas de matrícula emitidas entre 1951 y 1952, debido a la escasez de metal debido a la Guerra de Corea; [4] y una serie de placas agrícolas emitidas en las décadas de 1980 y 1990.

El político de Toronto y líder de la Orden de Orange, Leslie Saunders, encabezó las protestas contra una propuesta de eliminar la corona en 1948, una decisión que el gobierno revocó. [5]

Placas base para pasajeros

1911 a 1972

En 1956, Canadá, Estados Unidos y México llegaron a un acuerdo con la Asociación Estadounidense de Administradores de Vehículos Motorizados , la Asociación de Fabricantes de Automóviles y el Consejo Nacional de Seguridad que estandarizó el tamaño de las placas de matrícula de los vehículos (excepto las de las motocicletas ) en 6 pulgadas (15 cm) de alto por 12 pulgadas (30 cm) de ancho, con orificios de montaje estandarizados. [6] La emisión de 1954 (fechada en 1955) fue la primera placa de matrícula de Ontario que cumplió con estos estándares.

1973 hasta el presente

Después de 1973, Ontario dejó de emitir placas anualmente. En su lugar, la validación se indicaba mediante pegatinas colocadas en la parte superior derecha de la placa trasera. Todas las placas de Ontario emitidas desde 1973 siguen siendo válidas para exhibición.

En 1973, se introdujo el lema "Keep it Beautiful" (Manténgalo hermoso) en las matrículas de los pasajeros de Ontario. En 1982, el lema se cambió a "Yours to Discover" (Usted lo descubre). El cambio se hizo para reflejar la nueva campaña turística de la provincia. [9]

En abril de 2019, el Gobierno de Ontario anunció que las placas serían rediseñadas. El diseño de las placas incluye una capa laminada superficial fabricada por 3M . [10] Las placas tienen un fondo azul de dos tonos con letras y números blancos que flanquean un trillium blanco estilizado , y ya no están en relieve . El lema también se cambió a "Un lugar para crecer", inspirándose en el himno no oficial de Ontario " Un lugar para estar, un lugar para crecer ". [11]

La emisión de las nuevas placas comenzó en febrero de 2020. Las nuevas placas se enfrentaron a las críticas de las fuerzas del orden, ya que su nuevo diseño dificultaba su lectura en determinadas condiciones de iluminación. También se planteó la preocupación de que los sistemas de radar fotográfico tendrían dificultades para leerlas, debido a los problemas de iluminación, así como al tamaño más pequeño de su texto "Ontario". El 20 de febrero de 2020, el primer ministro Doug Ford declaró que el gobierno planeaba retirar el lote inicial y estaba trabajando con 3M en mejoras. [12] Sin embargo, el 6 de mayo de 2020, un portavoz de Ford anunció que las placas azules se suspenderían por completo después de "pruebas exhaustivas por parte de las fuerzas del orden y otras partes interesadas clave". Las placas blancas anteriores se restablecieron, con su revestimiento también hecho más duradero, aunque las placas azules continuaron emitiéndose hasta principios de junio hasta que se agotó su suministro. [13] [14]

Matrículas verdes para vehículos

Vehículos históricos

Ejemplo de una placa histórica de Ontario, fijada en la parte delantera de un vehículo.

Las matrículas de vehículos históricos se introdujeron en 1969 como matrículas anuales. En 1973, las matrículas pasaron a ser matrículas emitidas de forma permanente y validadas con pegatinas.

Los vehículos de más de 30 años de antigüedad y que no hayan sufrido cambios sustanciales desde su fabricación pueden calificar para un registro "Histórico". [24]

Las tarifas anuales eran mucho más bajas (18 dólares frente a los 120 dólares de un coche de pasajeros hasta 2022), [25] pero los vehículos históricos no pueden utilizarse como transporte convencional. Legalmente, solo pueden conducirse hacia y desde eventos y desfiles en los que el vehículo esté en exhibición, hasta talleres para mantenimiento y otros casos de uso similares. Las pegatinas de renovación anual se colocan en la placa trasera, como en el caso de los vehículos de pasajeros.

Las placas históricas no deben confundirse con las placas del año de fabricación. [26]

Placas base comerciales

Pegatina de exención

A diferencia de los vehículos de pasajeros, las calcomanías de validación de matrículas para vehículos comerciales se colocan en la placa delantera, en lugar de en la trasera. Esta colocación es la misma en camiones con placas traseras visibles y tractores en los que la placa trasera está oculta por un remolque. Los vehículos de Ontario registrados en el Plan de Registro Internacional reciben placas comerciales especiales con la inscripción "PRP" impresa verticalmente a la izquierda.

Todas las camionetas pickup se consideran legalmente vehículos comerciales y, por lo tanto, requieren placas comerciales. Sin embargo, si se utilizan estrictamente como vehículos de pasajeros ("vehículos de uso personal"), una camioneta puede estar exenta de algunas condiciones impuestas a los vehículos comerciales, indicadas por una calcomanía blanca o roja que dice "SOLO USO PERSONAL" colocada en la esquina superior izquierda de la placa frontal. [27]

1916 a 1962

Las placas de matrícula comerciales se introdujeron por primera vez en 1916.

1963 a 1979

En 1963, Ontario adoptó un sistema trimestral para las matrículas comerciales, por el que se podían expedir matrículas trimestralmente en lugar de pagar por un año completo de matriculación.

1980 hasta el presente

En la década de 1980, Ontario pasó a utilizar placas que se renovaban anualmente con pegatinas, abandonando el sistema trimestral.

Placas prorrateadas

Se utiliza en vehículos registrados en el Plan Internacional de Matrícula (PIR).

Placas de autobús

Las primeras matrículas de autobús se emitieron en 1973. Siguieron el sistema trimestral hasta 1980, para luego cambiar a una nueva placa permanente que se renovaba anualmente con pegatinas. [28]

Placas de autobús escolar

Las placas de matrícula de los autobuses escolares se emitieron por primera vez en 1975 con un registro anual. A diferencia de las placas de matrícula de los autobuses normales, estas placas vencían en junio, al final del año escolar. En 1980, estas placas emitidas anualmente se eliminaron gradualmente y se convirtieron en placas permanentes que se revalidaban con pegatinas anualmente. [28]

Platos de granja

Ejemplo de placa trimestral de Granja del año 1979.

Las placas agrícolas se introdujeron en 1978 utilizando el sistema trimestral. En 1980, las placas se cambiaron a placas permanentes revalidadas con pegatinas. [28]

Los vehículos de más de 3000 kg que sean propiedad de agricultores y se utilicen para fines relacionados con la explotación agrícola, como trabajar la tierra, realizar el mantenimiento de los edificios y transportar productos agrícolas, pueden reunir los requisitos para obtener una placa agrícola. Los agricultores también pueden utilizar camiones y remolques con placa agrícola para su transporte personal.

Para poder obtener la licencia, el agricultor debe cumplir una serie de criterios, entre ellos, ser miembro de organizaciones agrícolas y tener un ingreso mínimo derivado de la agricultura. Las tasas por las matrículas agrícolas son sustancialmente inferiores a las de las matrículas para vehículos de pasajeros o comerciales. La Ley de Tráfico por Carretera también exime a los vehículos agrícolas de varios requisitos impuestos a los vehículos comerciales. [29]

Las placas agrícolas son de color negro sobre blanco con un separador de corona negro, en un patrón similar al de las placas comerciales. Tienen la palabra "FARM" escrita verticalmente a la izquierda de la placa. Las pegatinas de validación son las mismas que para otros vehículos y se colocan en la placa delantera, como en las placas comerciales.

Placas de remolque

Ejemplo de placa de remolque, fijada en la parte trasera.

En Ontario, todos los remolques se consideran vehículos independientes y deben tener un permiso y una matrícula. Los nuevos propietarios de un remolque deben registrarse en el MTO dentro de los seis días posteriores a la compra. Luego se les emite un permiso y una matrícula. Las matrículas de los remolques no se renuevan anualmente, pero pueden reemplazarse en caso de pérdida, daño o robo. Las matrículas se colocan en la parte trasera del remolque. No hay matrícula delantera. [30]

Todos los remolques, ya sean utilizados por operadores comerciales u otros, utilizan una misma placa de identificación. Las placas son de color azul sobre blanco con separador en forma de corona, con un patrón y color similar al de los vehículos de pasajeros, con la palabra "TRAILER" escrita verticalmente a la izquierda de la placa. Sin embargo, no siguen el mismo sistema de numeración que otros vehículos.

1921 a 1973

Las placas para remolques se introdujeron por primera vez en 1921. Las placas emitidas entre 1921 y 1929 tenían la letra T en la parte delantera. En 1930, la letra T se trasladó al final del número. A partir de 1963 se introdujo un sistema trimestral para los remolques. [28]

1973 hasta el presente

En 1973, el sistema trimestral se eliminó gradualmente en favor de una placa semipermanente validada cada año con una etiqueta anual. A partir de 1980, las placas de remolque ya no requieren etiquetas de validación anuales, sino una tarifa única. [28]

Matrículas de vehículos de motocicleta

Las placas de motocicleta se emitieron por primera vez en 1911. [28] Se emitieron anualmente hasta 1980, cuando cambiaron a renovación anual con pegatinas de validación.

1911 a 1980

1980 hasta el presente

Matrículas para vehículos todoterreno

Estas placas de matrícula se emiten para vehículos todo terreno y otros vehículos para uso todoterreno.

Placas de ciclomotor

Placas para motos de nieve

A diferencia de todas las placas de matrícula de Ontario, que se cambiaron a placas reflectantes en 1994, las placas para motos de nieve siguen siendo no reflectantes.

Placas de doble propósito

Las placas de doble propósito se introdujeron por primera vez en 1927. Se emitían para vehículos que podían usarse tanto para fines personales como comerciales. Vehículos como vehículos recreativos, camionetas familiares y autocaravanas. [28] Se identificaban con el prefijo X. Sin embargo, estas placas se discontinuaron en 1973 y ya no se emiten.

1927 a 1972

Diplomatic plates

Example of an older style Diplomatic plate from 1965.

In Ontario, diplomatic plates were first issued in the 1950s. The first red licence plate was issued in 1959. Yearly plates were issued until 1986, when permanent plates renewed with stickers were introduced the following year. The ABC-123 serial format began in 1973.[28]

The current design is a white serial on red plate, using the 123-ABC serial format. "YOURS TO DISCOVER" is screened at the bottom. The red plate colour is exclusive to diplomatic plates.

Any foreign representatives and their accredited family members are required to obtain special red diplomatic licence plates when registering passenger vehicles within 30 days of taking up residence in the province. This rule does not apply to the registration of motorcycles.[32]

These plates are most commonly found in Ottawa and Toronto where embassies and foreign government operations are located.

Dealer and service licence plates

A Dealer plate is affixed only to the rear of a vehicle.

In Ontario, motor vehicle dealers licensed under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act use a single portable plate with the word "DEALER" on the left side and red alpha-numeric characters on a white background. It is for exclusive use by motor vehicle dealers only on motor vehicles owned as part of the dealer's inventory of vehicles for sale. It may also be used for private use vehicles that are owned as part of the dealer's inventory of vehicles for sale.[34]

Service providers, including anyone who repairs, customizes, modifies, manufactures or transports motor vehicles or trailers use yellow and black DLR series plates (Dealer and Service Plate).

A service plate may be used:

Private use of motor vehicles or trailers with a service plate is not permitted.

Motorcycle Dealer plates

An example of a current Motorcycle Dealer plate.

Dealer plates for motorcycles have been issued since the 1920s.[28] Very few of these early plates were issued, thus making it a rare plate. The 'M' prefix was featured on all plates before 1973. From 1973 to 1979 they were issued with the 'DL' prefix, with a similar design to regular Motorcycle plates. In 1982, the government began issuing permanent plates with yearly registration stickers.[28] Reflective plates were introduced in 1994.

The current plate design is a white serial on a light blue plate. These plates are the same size as regular motorcycle plates. The serial format used by these plates is AB123, running from AA001 to AF965 (as of February 23, 2020)[17]

Other non-passenger plates

Medical doctor plates

Medical doctor plates were first introduced in 1930, and are denoted by the letters starting with MD. When all the MDA - MDZ serials had been issued in the late 1990's [date missing], new serials using MAA started being issued.

Amateur radio plates

Amateur Radio plates were introduced in 1969 as supplemental plates. In 1976, Ontario permitted the call-sign to be on regular passenger plates, eliminating the small supplemental plates.[28]

Special Event Plates

Vanity licence plates

Along with regular series plates, the province also offers vanity plates for passenger and commercial vehicles. A personalized licence plate message may contain almost any combination of letters and numbers from two to eight characters. The plates can also include one of 60 different graphics,[36] with two to six characters. Available graphics have changed over the years, with some becoming available, while others have been withdrawn or modified. Owners selecting a graphic but no custom message are generally assigned a registration with a 12XY34 pattern, where the XY is a code indicating the design (i.e.: LN and LM = Loon, CF = Canadian Flag, etc.).

The province reserves the right to refuse or withdraw plates for a variety of reasons,[37] including:

While criteria have existed since the introduction of personalized plates, accusations of excessive zeal led the McGuinty government to set up a review committee in August 2008. The eight-member committee meets weekly to review submissions. In the first half of 2013, it had rejected 3% of requests.[38] Plates have also been withdrawn after issue.[39]

The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 brought renewed attention to the work of the Personalized License Plate Review Committee as it rejected personalized plates based on this theme.[40]

The ownership of plates with graphic elements associated with particular groups, such as veterans or firefighters, may be restricted and require proof of eligibility.

Personalized plates with two to five characters are also available for motorcycles.

Veteran Plate

License Plate Graphics

Plates with graphics are also available.[41] Graphics first being issued on license plates began in 1996. The variety of graphics includes charities, universities, community organizations and popular Ontario sports teams, such as the Ottawa Senators. All plates offer the French slogan since 2017.[28]

Discontinued Graphics

Certain graphics have been discontinued and are no longer issued. A plate design is considered discontinued once it is no longer offered at ServiceOntario.

Manufacturing

Since 1994, Ontario plates have had a reflective backing. Between 1999 and 2003, the backing was made by Avery. These can be recognized by the slogan written with smaller letters, and the presence of a registration mark below the bottom left bolt hole. Backing has since been made using 3M-brand reflective material.

Ontario licence plates were formerly manufactured by prison inmates at the Millbrook Correctional Centre in Cavan-Millbrook-North Monaghan.[44] Upon Millbrook's closure in 2003,[45] manufacture was moved to the Central East Correctional Centre in Lindsay, Ontario.[46] Since 1991, all Ontario plates have been manufactured for the MTO by Trilcor Industries, owned by the province's Ministry of the Solicitor General.[47][48] From 2017 to 2018, the plates were manufactured by Waldale Manufacturing of Nova Scotia, because Ontario's prison made plates ran out due to the peeling and bubbling in the preceding "B" series. The plates made by Trilcor Industries returned in 2018, to avoid license plate issues with the Nova Scotia license plates.

Alternative supplier

In 2016, an increase in the rate of defective plates combined with an increase in the number of registered vehicles led to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation becoming unable to keep up with demand for plates. It placed an order for 100,000 units from the Waldale Irwin Holdson Group, the largest licence plate manufacturer in North America.[49] Plates are produced by the Waldale Manufacturing facility in Amherst, Nova Scotia.

Plates from the first batch of 35,000 can be identified due to the use of embossed letters and numbers from Nova Scotia plates, which differ in appearance from Ontarian fonts.[50] The province continues to order supplementary batches of plates from Waldale. Since 2017, the Ontario die set has been in use. These plates are almost identical to those made by Trilcor Industries. The Waldale made plates have squared off edges and smaller bolt holes.[51]

Issues and controversies

Defective plates from 2012

In 2012, reports began to appear of plates deteriorating earlier than otherwise expected. The reflective layers detached themselves from the metal plate, making the plate unreadable. Approximately 1% of licence plates issued have this defect. The defect has appeared in both front and rear plates. Trilcor Industries and the MTO offer a five-year warranty on plates and will replace the defective plates at no cost.[52] Plate replacement for other reasons (theft, damage, wear, etc.) is done at a cost.

Conventional plates can be replaced "over-the-counter" at a licence office, but the complete process for personalized plates takes over six months.[53]

Driving with an illegible plate is an offence punishable by fine, under the Highway Traffic Act.[54]

In 2015, the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services hired Canada's National Research Council to identify the root cause of licence plate de-lamination. The NRC's report indicated that the reflective material adhered poorly to the aluminium plates, and that embossing process stressed the materials to the point that the reflective layer would puncture and de-laminate. At that point, water and other contaminants could slip between the layers. Also, road de-icing materials contributed to the de-lamination. The report found that this problem was present in samples from all types of plates, except for motorcycle plates.

The report recommended that Trilcor work with its supplier of laminating layer to resolve the problem, and indicated that a thicker layer of material would likely perform better.[55]

Illegality of licence plate covers

Many vehicle owners place clear plastic covers over their licence plates to protect their already defective licence plates (2012) from premature deterioration.[56] According to Ontario's Highway Traffic Act Section 13.2, licence plate covers are considered an obstruction and are illegal in the province of Ontario.[57] In the rare event that the officer chooses to issue the citation, the offence carries a minimum fine of $85.[58] On the contrary, drivers operating a motor vehicle with defective (i.e. unreadable) number plates can be charged with the same offence.[57] This has left defective number plate owners with little choice but to obtain replacement plates from the MTO, orders which have taken months (or over six months for customised plates) to process.[56]

Several motorists sought other solutions to prevent their number plates from deterioration, such as placing the front plate on the dashboard instead of affixing it to the front bumper.[59] Others have omitted the front licence plate altogether since it is not uncommon to see out-of-province vehicles on Ontario roadways (many jurisdictions in North America, including neighbouring Quebec and Michigan, do not require front plates). In most cases, vehicle owners who attempted the aforementioned solutions were convicted of the same offence (HTA section 13.2).[59]

Defective plates from 2020

Recalled 2020 plate design that is difficult to read at night.

On 15 February 2020, two weeks after the province began issuing plates with the new design, off-duty Kingston Police Sergeant Steve Koopman posted a photo on Twitter showing a vehicle with the new plate at night, stating that "they're virtually unreadable at night".[60] Government spokesperson Lisa Thompson, the Minister of Government and Consumer Services, stated in a news conference that the new design had undergone a "rigorous testing program", that the government had consulted with "key stakeholders" including law enforcement, and that the plates were not problematic.[60][61] She also criticized the earlier "Liberal plates",[60] referring to a batch of plates issued during a previous government that peeled. Thompson stated that manufacturing and quality control are the responsibility of 3M.[61] The redesigned plates also caused problems for photo radar cameras, which have difficulty reading the name of the jurisdiction. The name is rendered in a smaller font size than earlier plates.[61] The president of the Toronto Police Association stated that the organization had not been consulted on the new design.[60]

The Ford Government had insisted for days that there was not an issue with the plates; however, on February 20, it announced that 3M would make an "enhanced licence plate" to be available in less than three weeks.[62] On February 28, the government announced that the distribution of the defective plates would cease on March 4, that the enhanced plates would be ready by March 16 at "no cost to Ontario taxpayers", those who had already been issued the new plates will receive the enhanced version in the mail, and until the enhanced plates were ready, the government switched back to the previous plate design.[63][64] This design was later scrapped on May 6.[20]

Sticker renewal fee

On February 22, 2022, the Ford Government eliminated licence plate renewal fees and the requirement to have a licence plate sticker for the nearly eight million passenger vehicles, light-duty trucks, motorcycles and mopeds, effective March 13, 2022.[65]
