"The province is expanding its tow truck zones starting April 1 to restrict more sections of Ontario's highways to contracted companies approved by the Ministry of Transportation. This change aims to improve safety and streamline the towing process."
"Prior to the 2021 pilot project, tow truck providers would be chasing after collisions or incidents on highways, creating problems with multiple trucks trying to access the scenes. The new zones will provide clarity on where vehicles are taken and ensure fixed pricing."
"The pilot project originally created four tow zones divided into 10 sections, which will now be expanded to cover 15 sections across several 400-series highways from Niagara to Durham Region, clearly marked with signs."
"Several violent incidents in the Greater Toronto Area have been connected to rivalries within the tow trucking industry, prompting police to launch a task force focused on addressing crime in this sector."
The province of Ontario is expanding its tow truck zones on April 1 to enhance safety and streamline services. The new zones will restrict towing to contracted companies approved by the Ministry of Transportation. Previously, tow truck providers chased incidents, leading to congestion. The pilot project created four zones, now expanding to 15 sections covering larger areas. Each zone will have a single approved contractor providing services at fixed prices, with information available on the ministry's website. The expansion aims to address issues related to gun violence in the tow truck industry.
