Program aims to change driver behavior to slow
down in school zones
MESA,
Ariz., Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Verra
Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart
mobility solutions, announces a partnership with the Town of Davie, Florida, to implement
innovative safety solutions that will help protect schoolchildren
when traveling to and from school. The collaboration underscores
the commitment each party has toward enhancing school zone safety
and creating a safer environment for children across the state.
Verra Mobility will work closely with the town to identify
its unique safety needs and implement a tailored solution that
addresses the town's specific challenges with the goal of working
quickly to implement the new program. The town will expand its
current enforcement program to include more than 35 new school
speed safety camera enforcement locations.
"The school speed safety cameras will provide enhanced
protection for our children," stated Davie Police Chief Stephen Kinsey. "With 50 school zones, limited
staffing, and other demands for service, it becomes challenging to
cover each zone every day, and unfortunately, impatient and
distracted drivers pose the greatest risk. We hope our public
education campaign prior to the cameras being activated will bring
heightened driver awareness to these areas. It would be great if we
didn't have to issue a violation as safety is the goal."
"We are honored to partner with forward-thinking Florida communities to prioritize child
safety," said Jon Baldwin, EVP of
Government Solutions at Verra Mobility. "Our comprehensive
solutions and collaborative approach will help ensure that students
can travel to and from school safely and efficiently."
In 2023, Florida passed House
Bill 657, which allows enforcement cameras to monitor speed in
school zones; vehicles speeding in excess of ten miles per hour
over the posted speed limit are subject to violation fines. The
Town of Davie program will align
with the new legislation and include public outreach to educate the
community on the program and about the safety of children
surrounding school zones.
The collaboration demonstrates a shared commitment to creating
safer school zones for children, staff, and the entire community.
By leveraging innovative technology and data-driven insights, the
community will help set a positive example for others across the
state and nation.
