We were proud sponsors of AB-645 two years ago which legalized speed cameras in multiple pilot cities across California. We are dismayed to see a total lack of urgency in installing life saving speed cameras in LA.

At the current levels of departmental inactivity and elected official disinterest, it looks like there will be no L.A. speed camera pilot until 2027. Or 2028. Or never.

We are disappointed in LA City Council’s vote to oppose SB-79. Given the worsening housing and climate crises, Angelenos deserve better. Thank you to all the City Councilmembers who supported this bill, as well as our co-sponsors @innercitylawcenter.bsky.social and @abundanthousingla.bsky.social
