On Thursday, July 24, 2025, the Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS), Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS), Ministry of Transportation (MTO) and the Town of Lincoln partnered for a joint enforcement initiative focusing on commercial motor vehicle enforcement.
In response to community concerns involving increased commercial motor vehicle traffic in Lincoln and West Lincoln, the focus of this initiative was to identify commercial motor vehicles intentionally bypassing the Vineland Inspection Station and to conduct in-depth vehicular inspections to ensure compliance with road safety standards, as legislated by the Province of Ontario.
In total, 25 commercial vehicles were directed into the Vineland Inspection Station and comprehensively inspected. As a result, two vehicles were removed from the highway after significant safety concerns were identified, two sets of license plates were seized, and 21 Provincial Offence Notices (tickets) were issued for various offences.
The Niagara Regional Police Service remains committed to achieving its identified goal of enhancing road safety, as outlined in the 2022-2025 Strategic Plan. Members of the community wishing to report traffic complaints are encouraged to contact our Traffic Enforcement Unit (TEU) by telephone at 905-688-4111, option #3, extension #1025555 or by email at [email protected]
