SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
TRAFFIC SAFETY – FUND 28
This fund is to account for civil or administrative penalties to no more than $75 and late
penalties to no more than $25. Legislation passed by the 80 th Texas Legislature
allowed a local government entity to use a photographic traffic signal enforcement
system. One-half the net revenue from this fund is remitted to the Texas Comptroller for
deposit into a Regional Trauma Account. The City’s traffic signal enforcement system
th
was established December, 2010. In June, 2019 during the 86 Legislature, the traffic
signal enforcement system was eliminated with HB1631. Funding for traffic safety
programs will need to be covered by the City’s General Fund in the future or be
discontinued.
