Automated traffic enforcement revenue should go into a fund that:
*pays out an annual dividend to every resident with no tickets, and
*funds victim assistance for people suffering from traffic violence and facing financial hardship
There’s plenty of cash in transpo to fund street safety, if we just made some hard choices. Don’t let leaders off the hook.
The ultimate answer to the charge that “it’s just for generating cash” is to give it all back to people who are good drivers, and people victimized by bad drivers.
@bikepedantic How would you figure in households with zero cars?
@mmb it would simply be all households that don’t have a car registered that gets a ticket. Zero cars, zero tickets.
@bikepedantic Sounds good. Reminds me of a contest in Stockholm to reward non-speeders.

ATE tickets cars, not drivers, so the dividend would have to go to households with clean records, not individual residents I guess
