125 speed camera locations expected to be operational by the end of 2026

Verra Mobility Corporation announced that the Los Angeles City Council has selected the company to design, build, operate and maintain a comprehensive speed safety program serving both the city and county of Los Angeles.

Working with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation, Verra Mobility will install speed safety systems at 125 locations along corridors with elevated injury and crash rates. Many sites will feature equipment covering both travel directions to curb speeding. Site selection relied on detailed analysis of speeding patterns and crash data citywide.

Los Angeles joins a six-city pilot under Assembly Bill 645, which authorizes speed safety programs to cut excessive speeding, prevent fatalities and encourage safer driving habits.

Will Barnow, vice president at Verra Mobility, stated the firm is honored to deliver the state's largest such program. He noted the complexity of meeting strict legal standards and highlighted proven results from similar efforts that have sharply reduced dangerous driving.

Verra Mobility already supports automated enforcement programs in San Francisco and Oakland. Jurisdictions using the technology have recorded speed reductions up to 94 percent. San Francisco's initiative contributed to a 50 percent drop in traffic deaths and an 80 percent decline in speeding within one year.

Speeding continues to drive preventable fatalities in Los Angeles. Data show it factored in 16 percent of fatal and severe crashes from 2017 to 2021. In 2024 more than 300 traffic deaths occurred, with speeding involved in one-fifth of them.

The program will follow AB 645 rules covering data privacy, equitable penalties, public education and community engagement. Morgner Construction Management, a local minority business enterprise, is slated to handle camera installation and construction work.

Verra Mobility has pioneered automated enforcement in California, launching the first speed safety program in San Francisco and the first red-light camera program under SB 720 in Mountain House. The Los Angeles effort now represents the company's largest automated enforcement deployment in the state.
