Automated speed enforcement revenue surge

Prince George's County

Summary

Speed camera revenue jumped from $3.3 million to $14 million thanks to a new per-ticket vendor billing model and more cameras (66 to 107). New state law means school-zone speeding fines now range $40–$425, which is expected to keep revenue climbing. More revenue means more funding for county projects — but also more tickets for drivers.
