Now, Toronto police are running a three-day safety blitz with the goal of making those commuters more cautious about when they step onto the street. Stibbe said the TTC requested Toronto police step in after a perceived increase in collisions. Clint Stibbe told CBC Radio's Metro Morning. The goal isn't merely to hand out tickets — drivers, be warned, passing a stopped streetcar comes with a $110 fine and three demerit points — but to educate everyone sharing the roads. During the three-day safety blitz, officers are patrolling the busiest lines in the core during the morning and evening rush hours.
