Automated Red Light Enforcement Program

oTIS and Streets Department manage revenues generated by the State’s Automated Red Light Enforcement (ARLE) program. The ARLE Program uses red light cameras at high-volume and high-risk intersections to reduce red-light running. The cameras have proved effective; a 2011 study found that they reduced red-light violations by an average of 48 percent in the first year after installation. Pennsylvania law requires that funding from the enforcement program is dedicated to transportation safety improvements. To date, the City’s ARLE Transportation Safety Enhancements consists of 18 individual projects or programs; 7 are currently active. The City’s ARLE program identifies projects or programs based on criteria, such as crash data, traffic and pedestrian data, location risk and complexity, and prevalence of transit.
