York Regional Police (YRP) have launched a new online collision reporting system, allowing drivers involved in minor crashes to report incidents. The initiative aims to streamline the reporting process, reduce wait times at in-person reporting centers, and free up police resources for more urgent matters. Motorists can now submit reports through the YRP website, provided there are no injuries, criminal activity, or damage to public property involved in the collision.

The move to digital reporting is expected to enhance efficiency and accessibility for York Region drivers. Traditionally, individuals involved in minor accidents were required to visit a collision reporting center in person, often leading to long wait times and delays in processing claims. With the online system, drivers can complete the necessary forms, upload photos, and receive confirmation of their report. This approach aligns with broader efforts by law enforcement agencies to leverage technology in improving public services.

York Regional Police encourage residents to take advantage of the new system and remind drivers that collisions involving injuries, impaired driving, or major roadway blockages must still be reported to police in person or via emergency services. The online reporting system is now live and can be accessed through the YRP website, offering a more convenient option for those involved in minor accidents. Officials hope the transition will lead to quicker response times for emergency calls and a smoother experience for residents navigating the aftermath of minor vehicle collisions.
