The Ontario Provincial Police and the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) have introduced new computer technology that will change the way provincial offence notices (PON) and commercial vehicle inspection reports (CVIR) are created and issued to the motoring public.

The new systems, e-PON (Electronic Provincial Offence Notices) and e-CVIR (Electronic Commercial Vehicle Inspection Reports) are new Roadside Data Capture computer programs that permit OPP and MTO enforcement officers to enter and create PON's and CVIR's electronically.

This new software will eliminate illegible hand writing issues and significantly reduce errors in the creation of the notices, thus providing clarity to the defendant in understanding the charge and their options to address them. e-PON will also reduce processing costs of default notices.

e-CVIR is the electronic completion, issuance and updating of a commercial vehicle inspection report in "real time".
