flag Orlando is doubling its red-light camera program to 35 new intersections to boost safety and reduce crashes.

flag Orlando is expanding its red-light camera program to 35 new intersections, nearly doubling the current number and covering about 10% of city intersections, as part of a safety initiative to reduce crashes and fatalities. flag The move follows a traffic study identifying high-risk locations and builds on past success, with existing cameras reducing crashes by nearly 25%. flag Each camera generates about $40,000 annually, contributing $1.5 million to city funds, though officials stress safety, not revenue, is the priority. flag The city’s $1.8 billion budget makes the revenue a small portion of overall spending. flag Meanwhile, Jacksonville’s City Council faces a tight deadline to approve a $2 billion budget, including a $13 million property tax cut, amid debate over amendments restricting funding for diversity, equity, inclusion, abortion, and undocumented immigrants. flag Leaders urge compromise to avoid financial penalties and service cuts. flag Brightline is also expanding rail service in October, increasing train frequency and capacity, with longer trains and new pricing tiers to improve the rider experience. flag In Orange Park, red-light cameras issued an average of 53 violations daily, generating $2.16 million in fines, with officials emphasizing safety over revenue.
