"The 60-day warning period on the Bx22, M96, M116 and Bx2 bus routes begins on Oct. 13. Vehicles that block bus stops or illegally double park will receive warning notices in the mail for an initial period during those 60 days, followed by summonses thereafter. Fines start at $50 but can be as much as $250 for repeat offenders. The four routes are in addition to the 43 routes currently enforced."
"Routes that use ACE have seen bus speeds increased by 5%, with some corridors experiencing a travel time jump as high as 30%, according to the MTA. ACE routes have also experienced a 20% reduction in collisions, and 5% to 10% estimated reduction in emissions, per the MTA. MTA manages the ACE with the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) and the NYC Department of Finance."
MTA and NYC agencies will equip four additional bus routes (Bx22, M96, M116, Bx2) with automated camera enforcement, starting a 60-day warning period on Oct. 13. Vehicles blocking bus stops or illegally double parking will receive mailed warnings during the initial period, then summonses; fines start at $50 and can reach $250 for repeat offenders. The four routes join 43 already enforced, and more than 1,300 buses are ACE-equipped across 510 miles. Routes using ACE have seen average bus speeds rise about 5%, some corridors up to 30%, plus a 20% reduction in collisions and lower emissions.
