Back on track

For offences that take place on or after September 30, 1998, the Highway Traffic Act requires convicted impaired drivers or drivers with 2 or more administrative suspensions to successfully complete Back on Track, Ontario's Remedial Measures Program, before their licences can be reinstated. Participants must pay a fee of $894 for convicted impaired drivers or $344 for administrative suspensions to cover the costs of the program. If you are convicted of an impaired offence, you will receive a suspension notice from the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO). The notice includes your remedial requirement and the length of your licence suspension. You should register for Back on Track a week (7 days) after your impaired conviction or administrative suspensions. It may take up to 11 months to complete all parts of the Back on Track program. Assessment, 8 hour Education or 16 hour Group Treatment workshop and 6 month follow-up.

To pass the program, you must meet the following requirements: Do not use alcohol (including dealcoholized beverages), drugs or cannabis products (including CBD products that may contain THC) within 24 hours of or on any day that you participate in the program. You may take medication prescribed by a physician provided it does not impair your ability to participate in the program. I must not show signs of odor of alcohol (including dealcoholized beverages), drugs or cannabis products within 24 hours of or on any day that I participate in the program. Attend all sessions as scheduled by me and you must arrive on time for each session. Give 24 hours notice that you are unable to attend by leaving a message directly with the service provider. The only acceptable reasons for missing a session without giving 24 hours notice are serious illness, a death in your immediate family, or severe weather. In case of an emergency you must submit a date specific document (e.g., a doctor's note) to confirm the reason for your absence. If accepted, you will be required to reschedule the missed component and complete all assignments. Participate fully in the program activities and demonstrate that you have learned about separating your drinking and other drug use from your driving. Treat the program staff and other participants with respect. Verbal or physical abuse will not be tolerated. Provide accurate information. If you fail any component, you will have to re-register, pay the program fee again and restart the program. This could result in a delay of eight months or more in reinstating your driver's licence.
