Payment Notice – Vehicle Registration: Public Transit
Following collection agreements concluded with the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable and municipal partners, the SAAQ collects funds on behalf of these organizations. These transferred funds are used to finance public transit.
Additional amount on your payment notice
When you receive your vehicle registration payment notice, depending on where you live, you may see an additional amount called “Public Transit.” This amount may be split into two parts:
- The passenger vehicle registration tax (TIV). The amount varies based on where you live (refer to this table to see the applicable amounts in your region).
- A public transit contribution of $30. This amount is collected in regions served by a public transit body.
Based on where you live, you may have to pay both fees, one of the fees, or neither.
