LegCo Panel on Transport visits the Hong Kong Police Headquarters to observe a demonstration of the functions of the eTraffic Penalty Ticket platform (with photos)
The Legislative Council (“LegCo”) Panel on Transport visited the Police Headquarters today (1 April) to observe a demonstration of the eTraffic Penalty Ticket platform functions to learn about the latest measures and implementation details of the Hong Kong Police Force (“the Police”) issuing electronic penalty tickets (“ePTs”) starting from 15 June 2025.
Members first received a briefing by representatives of the Police on the implementation details of ePTs and the transitional arrangements to help the public adapt to the new system. Members noted that the Police will adopt a “dual-track” approach during the initial rollout of ePTs. This includes issuing ePTs to traffic offenders who have provided their verified e-contact information, while also sending them paper copies of the penalty tickets.
Members then observed a Police demonstration on the handling of ePTs and learnt that the Police will introduce a new thematic portal and mobile application, enabling vehicle owners and drivers to handle traffic contravention related matters via online platforms in a more convenient way. Members also noted that the Police have passed load test and stress test on the operation of the relevant system.
During the visit, Members exchanged views with representatives of the Police on matters including how to strengthen publicity campaigns for the ePTs platform and enhance fraud prevention awareness among vehicle owners, drivers, and the general public.
Members who participated in the visit were the Chairman of the Panel, Ir Hon CHAN Siu-hung, and Panel members Hon LEUNG Man-kwong and Hon CHAN Pui-leung; as well as non-Panel members Hon Judy CHAN Kapui and Hon Edmund WONG Chun-sek.
