How a traffic charge works in Mississauga
Peel Regional Police polices Mississauga from its headquarters at 7150 Mississauga Road and three divisions in the city: 11 Division (3030 Erin Mills Pkwy), 12 Division (4600 Dixie Road) and 31 Division (2951 Convair Drive). The agency printed on your ticket is the one whose officer notes make up your disclosure, and in Mississauga that disclosure is requested through the City's online form once a trial date has been scheduled, not from the police division.
The City runs the court, but its office is styled the Ontario Court of Justice Provincial Offences Office, and mailed cheques or money orders are made payable to The Ontario Court of Justice. Deadline: respond within the time printed on your ticket. Paying: phone payments at 905-615-4500 take Visa, Mastercard or Amex but not debit, and paytickets.ca is the only online platform the City accepts. Early resolution: Mississauga lists no mail or email route for an early resolution request; it is online or at the counter only. Trial: a notice of intention to appear, stating whether you prefer to attend online or in person, filed online or at the counter. If no notice of trial arrives by mail within 4 months of your request, call 905-615-4500. Report a change of address to the court office in writing, in person or by email; notifying the Ministry of Transportation or ServiceOntario does not notify the court office.
Mississauga lets you attend a trial or early resolution meeting online, but only by video. The City states that a court matter cannot be completed by audio only, and anyone who cannot be on camera must attend in person at the address and courtroom shown on their notice. Log in 15 minutes early under your legal first and last name; you wait in a Zoom waiting room and must turn your camera on when admitted. Courtroom links on the City's remote court page are listed under a date range, so check the page close to your date. If you lose the connection and cannot rejoin, call 905-615-4500.
However the ticket was issued, the three ways to respond are the same: pay the set fine, request anEarly Resolution meetingwith the prosecutor, or set the matter down for trial. Which is right depends on what thedisclosureshows — see the charge you are facing for how each one is defended.

Traffic charges in Mississauga — common questions
Does my ticket go to the Mississauga court or the Brampton court?
Go by the Provincial Offences Court address printed on the back of your ticket; the City of Mississauga's own payment instructions point you to that address. Mississauga and Brampton run separate municipal court offices: Ontario lists Mississauga as ICON 3161 and Brampton as ICON 3160, and Brampton's office is at 5 Ray Lawson Blvd.
Can I pay a Mississauga ticket in person somewhere other than Burnhamthorpe Road?
Yes. The City of Mississauga says you can pay in person at the Provincial Offences Court address on the back of your ticket, or at any municipal Provincial Offences court in Ontario. At the court named on your ticket, the City lists cash, debit, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, certified cheque or money order. At another municipal Provincial Offences court, the City lists cash, debit, Visa, Mastercard or Amex.
Who answers questions about a Mississauga disclosure request?
The City of Mississauga directs disclosure questions to poa.disclosure@mississauga.ca. A request can be submitted only once your trial date has been scheduled, through the online disclosure form the City links from its Request a Trial page. The City says processing usually takes 6 to 8 weeks, so a request made soon after the trial date is set leaves the most time before court.
How long does a Mississauga early resolution meeting take, and what happens if I miss it?
Plan for 45 to 60 minutes. The City of Mississauga schedules other appointments in the same time slot, and the prosecutor meets with everyone booked for that time before going into court. If you miss the meeting, your matter is still reviewed that day, and you may be found guilty and have to pay the fine.
Can I move my first Mississauga trial date without filing a motion?
Yes, if the first trial date has never been changed. Go to the court office, complete the request form and take it to the prosecutor's office for approval before the clerk assigns a new date. A later date needs a notice of motion and supporting affidavit, filed in person at the courthouse at least 5 days before the appearance and approved at the prosecutor's office. If neither route is open to you, you must attend the trial date, in person or virtually, to ask for the adjournment, or an authorized representative can attend in your place.
