I worked with the head of the ATVES program and tried to setup even a process where we used safety or crash data to identify places that should have a speed or red light camera. But he is very invested in the 311 request -> test camera -> see if it's profitable enough. Let's just say that there is no issue with profitability, and if the program really is about safety, then we really should roll them out much more widely.

It was mind boggling to be in our Toward Zero meetings talking about people dying in crashes, and how little appetite there was from the ATVES head and DOT director to go that direction. Never made sense to me.
