Whenever we start looking at safety benefits, a lot of those high-cost projects, we're not going to do an intersection reconstruction for $150,000.
We're looking at millions of dollars.
So we wanted to see what the safety benefit of red light cameras would be.
So annual crashes at those 10 intersections without treatment, we expect to see around 1,600 collisions.
1.6, one and a half serious injury fatal collisions annually, and then 44 angle and left turn different roadway collisions annually.
With the Red Light Camera program, based on industry research and tools from the Federal Highway Administration, looking at about a 25, 30% reduction in total collisions at those intersections, less than one serious injury or fatal collision,
It's hard to get to zero because there's so many factors that go into a fatal collision, but it does take it by almost half.
And then 27 angle and left turn different roadway collisions versus 44.
Those angle and left turn different roadway collisions tend to be your most serious and violent collisions that result in serious injuries.
Gets us to the program funding.
The pilot program would be a city-funded program using the existing statutory approvals.
The city would pay all the program expenses up front and distribute 90% of each citation to Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools.
The city would retain 10% of each citation for program expenses.
Looking at the future, ideally we would have an interlocal program, but that requires general assembly action.
In that instance, the city would provide all the revenue to Charlotte Mecklenburg schools, and then we would invoice them for our program costs and be reimbursed after the fact.
So next steps, um, establish a pilot program.
Staff will develop an RFP to select a program vendor.
Council would be asked to approve the contract at a future business meeting.
The goal is to have a pilot program begin by early 2027.
And then at a future date, we would introduce an ordinance amendment to increase fines.
