TRAFFIC SIGNAL SAFETY FUND

The Traffic Signal Safety Fund was established in fiscal year 2008-2009. RedFlex Group was selected to
manage traffic signal safety cameras at a few intersections in the City. Intersections were selected based
upon the historical number of accidents and traffic counts. The cameras capture images of vehicles
running red lights. The owner of the subject vehicle is notified by mail and is able to view the violation on
the Internet. The fine per violation is $75 and may be appealed through the City. RedFlex collects all
revenue associated with violations, keeps the amount necessary to operate the cameras and remits the
remaining funds to the City. The City is then allowed to pay its associated costs from the available funds
and retains 50% of dollars remaining for public safety use only. The remaining 50% of post-expense
dollars is paid to the State of Texas. On June 2, 2019, Governor Abbott signed House Bill 1631 which
immediately discontinued the Red Light Camera program. Any funds remaining will be used for eligible
one time expenses.
