Overview

• The 33 cameras installed citywide on the High Injury Network shifted from warnings to fines of $50 to $500 at 12:01 a.m. on August 5 after a 60-day grace period.
• Each citation undergoes human verification before being mailed to ensure accuracy, and low-income drivers can receive discounted fees or opt for community service.
• Early SFMTA data reveal daily speeding events have dropped by 30 to 63 percent since full activation, and 70 percent of warned drivers did not reoffend.
• Citation revenue will first cover program costs before funding street-safety enhancements, with any excess directed to California’s Active Transportation Program.
• Authorized by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s AB 645, the five-year pilot includes an 18-month evaluation and built-in equity measures to address concerns from Human Rights Watch.
