Department of Transportation:

Section 304 (5) (a) is updated so the penalty for the first violation is increased from $0 to $125. The second violation, and each violation, thereafter, will remain at $248.  There are no other changes in Section 304 regarding the Speed Safety Camera Systems Program. 

 

There will be an impact on future revenue.  The current modeling provided by Transportation Operations has the first violation listed at $0. Our modeling has been updated to update the first violation to $125 effective July 1, 2026.

 

Transportation Operations assumes that:

•       First infractions issued between go-live and June 30, 2026, will be issued at $0.

•       First infractions issued on and beyond July 1, 2026, will be issued at $125.

•       Second infractions, and each violation, thereafter, will be issued at $248 from go-live and beyond. There is no change to this penalty amount. 

•       It is anticipated in FY 2029 and FY 2030 that we will see a 10% decrease in first infractions since all 15 units will have been deployed statewide in FY 2028. 

•       The program ends on June 30, 2030.

 

No impact on FY 2026.

 

For fiscal year 2027, there will be 10 units with an anticipated 3,725 deployments which would result in:

•       328,986 first infractions at $125, which would generate $41,123,250 in revenue.

 

For fiscal year 2028, there will be 15 units with an anticipated 5,525 deployments which would result in:

•       360,773 first infractions at $125, which would generate $45,096,625 in revenue.

 

For fiscal year 2029, there will be 15 units with an anticipated 5,525 deployments which would result in:

•       324,696 first infractions at $125, which would generate $40,587,000 in revenue.

 

For fiscal year 2030, there will be 15 units with an anticipated 5,525 deployments which would result in:

•       292,226 first infractions at $125, which would generate $36,528,250 in revenue.
