There were 12,330 speeding-related fatalities in 2021 – an 8% increase from the year before. Speeding-related fatalities accounted for 29% of traffic deaths that year. Automated enforcement is intended to augment — not replace — traditional traffic enforcement activities and remind drivers there is always a risk of “getting caught” running a red light or speeding. Red light and speed cameras are powerful tools to reduce crashes. Community engagement and careful consideration of where cameras are placed are critical to building support for automated enforcement programs. Learn more about the effectiveness of automated enforcement and be #mindful of running red lights and speeding. #StopOnRed #AutomatedEnforcement #SpeedKills

Tech vs. Trash: How Cities are Combatting Illegal Dumping Illegal dumping plagues virtually every city, turning neighborhoods into eyesores and creating critical health hazards. The fight against illegal dumping, however, is getting a major boost as cities deploy a suite of technology tools to deter dumping, gather evidence, and empower residents. Companies like Ubicquia, Inc help cities leverage existing streetlight infrastructure to quickly and cost-effectively deploy technology solutions—and the combination of cameras and license plate readers (LPR) is turning the tide! These intelligent systems can automatically detect dumping activity, recognize license plates, and trigger real-time alerts. Acting as vigilant witnesses, they not only discourage illegal behavior but provide crucial evidence to hold offenders accountable. Additionally, many cities are extending their camera and LPR capabilities by integrating them into 3-1-1 citizen reporting apps, like Granicus, that enable residents to become part of the solution. With a few simple taps, residents can report a dumping incident, complete with photos and location data. These “extra eyes” help authorities target problem areas, identify root issues, and deliver comprehensive solutions. The fight against illegal dumping is far from over, but technology is a powerful partner helping cities create cleaner, safer, healthier communities!

For 120 years, AAA Washington has been a champion of safer mobility for all road users. While we work year-round to enhance traffic safety and promote equity on Washington's roadways, much of that work happens in the beginning of each year during Washington’s legislative session. 2024’s legislative session, which wrapped up in March, was no different. Here’s a quick recap of our 2024 legislative efforts: 1. Prioritizing Equity and Safety at Traffic Stops AAA Washington supported legislation aimed at bolstering equity in traffic safety for vulnerable road users. HB 1513 would have prioritized traffic safety violations while providing assistance to low-income drivers for “fix it ticket” violations. SB 5383 sought to amend pedestrian crossing laws to accommodate marginalized communities that don’t have access to sidewalks and crosswalks. Unfortunately, neither of these bills passed this year. 2. Enhancing Traffic Safety: Automated Traffic Enforcement Cameras AAA Washington supported two bills (HB 2384 and SB 6115) to address the alarming spike in traffic fatalities in recent years, with speed being one of the top causes. These bills focus on regulating the use of cameras while ensuring transparent public notice procedures. Both bills passed, and we applaud the legislature's attention to equity concerns, including camera placement and reduced penalties for eligible individuals.
