Verra Mobility chosen to implement California’s first automated speed safety program

We are excited to share the news that we have been selected and approved to implement California’s first automated speed safety program in San Francisco. This program, which is the first of its kind in the state, aims to improve road safety for all users by using innovative safety technology.

In partnership with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), Verra Mobility will install speed safety cameras at 33 strategic locations across the city. The goal is to have the speed safety program fully operational by early 2025.

“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.”

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 city to complete its procurement process and select a vendor, moving the pilot program forward to enhance 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. “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.”
