Colorado Springs Listens To Voters And Decides To Remove Red Light Cameras

Add Colorado Springs, Colorado to the growing list of cities having second thoughts about the use of red light cameras. On Tuesday, interim Police Chief Pete Carey discussed his intention to drop the year-old program as the contract with vendor American Traffic Solutions (ATS) expires at the end of the year. The mayor, who asked the previous chief to step down, is behind the move.

"The photo red-light enforcement program did not meet our expectations," Mayor Steve Bach said in a statement. "It is as simple as that. If a safety program can't be shown to improve safety, it ought to be stopped."
