 New boxART! Brightens Up Fremont
Fremont is blossoming with creativity! Our boxART! program continues to transform ordinary traffic signal control boxes into extraordinary works of art that enhance the city's aesthetic appeal and foster a sense of community.
We are excited to announce the completion of a new series of boxART! focused on sustainability. Local artists, from professionals to student artists, have brought their unique visions to life, exploring the many facets of the environment and sustainability. These vibrant designs, both painted and digital, are now beautifying our neighborhoods.
To view Fremont’s entire collection of boxART!, including our newly completed boxes, check out our interactive map. It includes photos, locations, artist names, and the inspiration behind each design.
Thank you to all the artists who have participated in this program and have helped bring more art to Fremont!

August is time for back to school, and it is also National Traffic Safety Awareness Month. We want to encourage drivers to be more aware and vigilant and for parents to take a proactive stance on traffic safety. Set aside some time to talk about safety with your children before they head back to school. Here is a short video on Back-to-School Safety Tips for Drivers, Parents and Children. Visit the City of Fremont’s Safe Routes to School webpage for more information including recommended walking and bicycling routes to school.

The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) has installed cameras with artificial intelligence (AI) hardware and software on 100 buses to help detect and issue citations to all illegally parked or stopped vehicles at AC Transit bus stops.
As of August 7, AC Transit will issue warnings, but beginning October 7, these warnings will be replaced with a $110 citation. When a violation is suspected, the system will produce and send an evidence package to the transit law enforcement team who will then review the package and determine whether a citation should be issued to the registered vehicle owner. Automated camera citations were previously used for station and bus only lane violations along the Tempo Line 1T corridor. With the passing of Assembly Bill 917, AC Transit is now permitted to use forward-facing cameras to issue citations for vehicles illegally parked at bus stops and in transit-only lanes.
To learn more about the state law and how AC Transit will be using the AI technology, visit AC Transit's website.
