## Summary

Parking, stopping, and standing enforcement; bus obstruction monitoring systems. Allows localities to authorize the use of bus obstruction monitoring systems by a public transit agency operating within the locality for the purpose of enforcing local ordinances related to parking, stopping, or standing in bus stop zones or in lanes reserved for transit buses during posted times. This bill is identical to SB 583.

## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- More rights for bus camera tickets: benefit, low. Any complaint, ticket, or summons must say the evidence came from a bus camera system authorized by the locality. If you get a mailed summons, you have at least 30 business days to review the images. You cannot be arrested or held in contempt just for missing the return date on a mailed summons.
- Privacy limits on bus camera systems: benefit, low. The system must capture and analyze images on a computer on the bus. Only images flagged on the bus as possible violations can be sent off the bus. Images that show a violation can be kept up to six months or 60 days after the ticket is finally resolved, whichever is later. Then they must be delete…
- Vendors paid flat fees, not per ticket: mixed, medium. Private vendors can contract with localities or transit agencies to provide these systems and services. Contracts must pay for the value of goods and services, not per paid ticket or penalty. This removes per‑violation pay models.
- Local bus cameras enforce bus-lane rules: mixed, low. Localities can let their transit agency use cameras on buses to enforce no parking or stopping in bus stops and bus lanes during posted times. The locality must sign an agreement so images go to local officials. Officials can use those images to issue tickets when they decide a violation happened.…
