We have great news to share!
A long-time advocacy win has been achieved, as the Digital Dealer Registration program has been upgraded:
1 – Dealers can now pay for plate denial fees (407 tolls and municipal fines), and
2 – Dealers can register Heavy Commercial Vehicles with a registered grow weight between 3001 to 4500kg.
Since DDR was established in 2022, our members told us adding items would make DDR better. After years of collaborative advocacy with the Ministry, I am excited dealers will now see these services implemented.
For full details, see this letter from the Ministry.
This is a great day for auto retail. I want to thank each of you that have supported DDR and offered advice on how to improve it over the years.
Interested dealerships can visit the Digital Dealership Registration program | ontario.ca. If you have any questions, please the Ministry at dealerships@ontario.ca.
