New statistics, obtained by CTV News Ottawa through an Access to Information request, shows OC Transpo drivers received 87 speeding tickets from automated speed enforcement cameras and 56 tickets through the red light camera program in 2023.
Tickets issued under the red light camera and photo radar camera provisions in the Highway Traffic Act are owner liability offences, meaning the city of Ottawa is legally responsible to pay the fine as the owner of the vehicle.
Frankly, I’m surprised this number isn’t higher.
EDIT: At an estimated 80,000 bus trips for 2023 that accounts for about 0.178% of trips. Seems pretty good to me.
