Cameras bringing in less cash

Source: By Josh Verges, Argus Leader (SD), September 17, 2007


In three years of camera traffic enforcement at a downtown Sioux Falls intersection, red-light runners have paid $1.59 million in tickets. The city has kept about one-third of that revenue, sending the rest to the Arizona-based camera company. But this year, as drivers continue to pay closer attention to the traffic signals, almost none of the ticket proceeds are staying in the city.

......... In its 2008 budget, Sioux Falls expects to give Redflex all of the $300,000 it collects from drivers.
