Brief

The Department of Transportation has introduced a proposed contract with American Traffic Solutions, Inc (doing business as Verra Mobility) to operate an automated speed safety camera system in Los Angeles. The contract is intended to support traffic safety enforcement through automated speed detection and citation. The matter was referred to the Transportation Committee on May 11, 2026, and remains pending.

Full summary

The Department of Transportation has initiated a contract proposal with Verra Mobility, a vendor specializing in automated traffic safety camera systems, to install and operate speed safety cameras throughout Los Angeles. Automated speed cameras detect and photograph vehicles exceeding posted speed limits, enabling the city to issue citations without officer presence at each location. This technology is presented as a tool to deter speeding, improve street safety, and reduce collisions in targeted areas. The contract with Verra Mobility would establish the terms of deployment, operation, revenue sharing (if any), and liability for the camera system. The city would need to determine which corridors or neighborhoods receive cameras, citation protocols, and how revenue from speed camera fines is allocated or used. Introduced by the Department of Transportation on May 8, 2026, the matter was referred to the Transportation Committee three days later. The file remains pending in committee with no further action recorded as of mid-May 2026. The file is set to expire on May 8, 2028, giving the committee roughly two years to advance, modify, or close the proposal. No public hearing date or committee action has been scheduled yet.
