“Under Mayor de Blasio’s Better Buses Action Plan, we have committed to increase citywide bus speeds 25 percent by the end of 2020 – and to get there, we will need to step up enforcement to keep vehicles out of the more than 100 miles of dedicated bus lanes we have built around the city,” said NYCDOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg. The package of evidence is transmitted to NYCDOT for review and processing, and the program is administered in partnership with NYCDOT and the NYC Department of Finance. The system collects multiple pieces of evidence from multiples buses traveling in the bus lanes to ensure that vehicles making permitted turns from bus lanes are not ticketed. ABLE camera systems capture evidence such as license plate information, photos and videos, as well location and timestamp information, of vehicles obstructing bus lanes to document clear cases of bus lane violations. NYC Transit is using an Automated Bus Lane Enforcement (ABLE) system on 51 buses that travel on the M15 Select Bus Service route, which uses dedicated bus lanes implemented by the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT). “Our new bus-mounted cameras and the combined enforcement efforts of NYCDOT and the NYPD are powerful new tools that build upon the success of Select Bus Service and make it even more effective.”
“So far, the program shows that vehicles are often in bus lanes, blocking or slowing buses that affect M15 SBS service,” said Craig Cipriano, Acting MTA Bus Company president and senior vice president for Buses of NYC Transit. “For the first time, we are able to help the city enforce them, and this shows how serious we are about safely speeding up service for our bus riders.” “We are very serious about keeping bus lanes clear because transit priority is part of our path to faster, more reliable buses under the Fast Forward plan to improve service,” said MTA NYC Transit President Andy Byford. 7, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) New York City Transit (NYC Transit).
More than 1,500 vehicles have been captured blocking bus lanes on the M15 Select Bus Service route since bus-mounted camera enforcement began Oct.
