RE:NYC officials announce plan to expand MTA bus serviceWho is currently supplying the cameras and will GSI be able to take this business from the existing vendor? What are the capabilities of the current lane camera enforcement, can it issue tickets? Current system appears to only provide video on presence of vehicles that should not be in those bus lanes.
Expanded Bus Lane Camera Enforcement
Bus lane camera enforcement technology currently exists in all five boroughs, and MTA and NYCDOT have agreed to expand camera enforcement to cover up to 85% of existing bus lanes by the end of 2023.
To reach that goal, the MTA has committed to more than tripling the number of cameras onboard buses in 2022, adding 300 cameras, with the plan to add at least 600 more in 2023. Approximately 30% of bus lane miles are covered with onboard bus cameras. NYCDOT will complement this effort by adding fixed cameras on up to 15 new corridors in 2022. The fixed cameras will work in concert with the bus cameras to reduce the number of illegal cars and other vehicles in bus lanes.
