HALIFAX– Nova Scotians will now have the option to pay speeding tickets or any other summary offence online.

Justice Minister and Attorney General Diana Whalen says this new option will help speed up the payment process.

“This is part of a continued effort to make more government services available online. The option to pay online will reduce wait times and speed up processing times,” said Whalen.

The previous payment system required offenders to make payments in person, over the phone, or by mail.

In 2015, more than $21 million in payments for summary offence tickets were made. This includes outstanding fines that were paid from previous years.
