Partnership with San Francisco Municipal
Transportation Agency involves 33 speed camera locations; program
expected to be fully operational early 2025
MESA,
Ariz., Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Verra
Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart
mobility technology solutions, announced today the approval from
the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) Board of
Directors to design, build, operate and maintain a speed safety
program across the city and county of San
Francisco – California's
first speed safety program leveraging advanced automated
technology.
"We are thrilled to have reached a significant milestone in
bringing speed safety cameras to San
Francisco's streets, marked by the approval of our contract
with Verra Mobility," said SFMTA Streets Director Viktoriya Wise. "With speeding as the
leading cause of serious injuries, we've moved swiftly to introduce
this life-saving tool proven to reduce speeding and protect lives
in cities nationwide."
Verra Mobility and SFMTA will commence the implementation
process of speed safety cameras at 33 sites across the city. The
goal is to have a fully operational speed safety program in early
2025.
Under Assembly Bill 645, which became law in January 2024, Glendale, Long
Beach, Los Angeles,
Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose are authorized to pilot camera
systems for speed enforcement. San
Francisco is the first pilot city to complete its
procurement process and select a vendor, thereby advancing the
pilot program to increase citizen safety.
"We are grateful and excited that San Francisco has chosen Verra Mobility to
implement their speed safety program," said Jon Baldwin, executive vice president of
Government Solutions at Verra Mobility. "As the facilitator of
the largest metropolitan speed programs in the U.S., we look
forward to partnering with San
Francisco to help achieve its goal of Vision
Zero."
Verra Mobility is committed to fostering safer, healthier
communities and enhancing quality of life. Through partnerships
with local advocacy organizations and businesses, the company
builds a diverse, skilled workforce while supporting the economic
and social well-being of the communities it serves.
"Speed cameras are a proven tool to save lives. We are glad
San Francisco has secured an
experienced vendor that's already working with leading Vision Zero
cities to move forward quickly in getting cameras on the ground,"
said Jodie Medeiros, Walk San
Francisco.
"We are glad to see this investment in our community and the
thoughtfulness in their decision," said the San
Francisco Bicycle Coalition.
In addition to local safety advocates, Verra Mobility partnered
with Marinship Development, a Bay Area minority business enterprise
(MBE), who will be contracted to do the on-the-ground construction
and installation of the cameras.
"By combining Verra Mobility's advanced technology with our
construction expertise and long history in the Bay Area, we aim to
make transportation in California
more convenient, greener, and overall safer," said Marinship
Development Founder and Managing Member Derek
Smith.
