Bill Summary

For legislation relative to automated enforcement. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill establishes an Automated Road Safety Enforcement Pilot Program that allows cities and towns to install automated camera systems to enforce certain traffic violations, such as running red lights, speeding, and passing stopped school buses. The bill sets parameters for how the systems can be used, including limits on the number of systems per city/town and requirements for public notice and reporting. It also establishes a process for issuing and contesting camera-based violations, and requires that revenue from the program be deposited in the Massachusetts Transportation Trust Fund. The bill gives the Massachusetts Department of Transportation authority to approve city/town implementation plans and to periodically report on the program's impacts.
