MTO ending fax submissions for oversize/overweight permit applications
AI Article Summary
Ontario's Ministry of Transportation (MTO) will cease accepting fax submissions for oversize and overweight permit applications starting January 1. Instead, applications and payments must be submitted via the online PRIO system, by email for specific permits, or by phone for payments in exceptional cases. Training sessions for those unfamiliar with the PRIO system will be offered in December and January.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This change highlights the ongoing shift towards digital solutions in the construction and transportation sectors. For Canadian builders, this means they need to adapt to modernized systems for regulatory compliance, potentially improving efficiency and reducing paperwork. It is vital for contractors in Ontario to familiarize themselves with the PRIO system to ensure they can continue obtaining necessary permits without disruption.
