Photo: Business Wire\/AP.<\/p>\n<p>CITYWIDE \u2013 THE MTA ON Wednesday issued a notice that Automated Camera Enforcement fines are set to begin on Friday, Feb. 6, on the B68, B60 and M57 bus routes. Vehicles caught improperly using busways and bus lanes, blocking bus stops or illegally double parked will receive summonses that start at $50 and escalate to $250 for repeat violators.<\/p>\n<p>Bus routes with automated enforcement on average have increased speeds by 5%, with some corridors seeing gains as high as 30%, according to the authority. The MTA also found that these routes have a 20% reduction in collisions, a 5% to 10% estimated reduction in emissions, and a 40% reduction in blocked bus stops.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The ACE program is administered with the city departments of Transportation and Finance. All corridors with active cameras have signage. Once violations are captured by cameras on multiple buses, the resulting video, images, license plate information, location and time stamp details are then securely transmitted to the DOT for manual review and processing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2730\u2730\u2730<\/p>\n<p> <a style=\"font-size: inherit; background-color: #fefefe;\" href=\"https:\/\/brooklyneagle.com\/whats-news-breaking\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wnb-read-more aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/read-more-wnb-shad-1024x341.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"341\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSd5hEdpXLwpeWAPMPmcmdn--vHz1InXjphFdhedt_prXKoVFQ\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ultima-reader-response.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t<br \/>\n<a class=\"related-articles comment-link\" style=\"clear: both;padding-top:6px;color:#6cc4e8;\" href=\"#comments\" title=\"Leave a Comment\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/brooklyneagle.com\/365540\/this-85-year-old-tugboat-is-why-youre-not-freezing-right-now\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/012926_tugboat_ice_break-01-250x250.webp.webp\" class=\"alignleft wp-post-image\" alt=\"Tugboat operators N.D.
