Verra Mobility Corporation announced that the cities of Glendale and Long Beach, California, selected the company to deliver, operate, and maintain speed safety programs in each community. Glendale and Long Beach will be the third and fourth cities to contract with Verra Mobility to implement the state’s speed safety pilot program. The approval comes from a procurement of a thorough and competitive bid by another California government agency.
With more than 20 years of experience, Verra Mobility is uniquely equipped to implement within the legislative guidelines of the pilot program. Glendale and Long Beach are two of seven California cities authorized to pilot speed safety camera systems authorized under Assembly Bill 645, a law with strict data protection, equitable fines, thoughtful education, and a balanced community approach. Glendale’s program will deploy speed safety systems at nine locations, while Long Beach will deploy systems at 18 locations throughout the city, all aimed at reducing speeding and preventing traffic-related injuries and fatalities.
Verra Mobility is a nationally recognized provider of automated traffic enforcement, currently operating speed safety programs in San Francisco and Oakland. Similar speed safety programs in large cities across the country have reduced speeding by as much as 94% at locations equipped with this technology. Notably, San Francisco residents recently credited their speed program with a 50% drop in traffic deaths last year.
