Verra Mobility Corporation announced on June 18, 2025, the approval from Oakland's City Council to deliver, operate, and maintain a speed safety program across the city. This marks California's second speed safety program utilizing advanced automated technology, following San Francisco's initiative.
The program, authorized under Assembly Bill 645, will deploy speed safety systems at 18 high-risk locations in Oakland, totaling 36 cameras, to reduce speeding and prevent traffic-related injuries and fatalities. Oakland has experienced an average of over 33 traffic fatalities annually since 2020.
Will Barnow, vice president at Verra Mobility, stated that automated speed enforcement is one of the most effective tools for creating safer streets. The cameras will operate 24/7, issuing citations for vehicles traveling 11 mph or more over the speed limit, with reduced fees for low-income residents and a 60-day warning period before citations are issued.
