Description
A photo enforcement program that was expected to make travel safer in Aurora is costing the city more than anticipated, and now council members are talking about getting rid of it.
The program uses vehicles to photograph and ticket speeding drivers.
The City of Aurora launched the 13-month pilot program on July 14. They were hoping it would stop drivers from speeding, save lives, and generate extra funds for other traffic projects.
City leaders shared new numbers at last week’s Public Safety, Courts and Civil Service committee meeting. The numbers show from June 2023 to February 2024, the city spent $610,803 to run the program, but only made $75,559 in revenue received from citations. That puts the city in the red by about $535,243.
