"The MTA will begin hitting drivers who violate traffic rules surrounding its buses with fines on two more Queens routes starting April 17. Fines issued under its Automated Camera Enforcement program will kick off on both the Q17 and Q27 bus routes."
"Drivers caught on the bus-mounted cameras using busways and bus lanes, blocking bus stops, or double-parking will be issued summonses starting at $50 and scaling up to $250 for repeat offenses."
"The MTA touts ACE as a sweeping success, stating that routes with installed cameras have seen much faster bus speeds, with some segments experiencing speed increases up to 30%."
"The program has also led to a 20% drop in crashes and has cut emissions by 5% to 10% on the routes where it has been installed."
Starting April 17, the MTA will implement fines for traffic violations on the Q17 and Q27 bus routes as part of its Automated Camera Enforcement program. This initiative aims to enhance bus speeds and safety by penalizing drivers who obstruct bus lanes or stops. Fines range from $50 to $250 for repeat offenders. The ACE program has been successful, with significant improvements in bus speeds, a reduction in crashes, and lower emissions on routes where it has been implemented.
