COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
2:10 p.m. Public Hearing
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends the approval of the Traffic Infraction Detector Report via Resolution and the formal submission to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The official public record and approval of the Traffic Infraction Detector Report is a new request from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). Beginning in 2024, the FLHSMV enacted the requirement for jurisdictions who participate in the Red-Light Camera Program to present their official data at a regular or special meeting of their governing body (city council, county commission, etc.) in order to add or renew cameras. The governing body must approve the use of the cameras based on traffic data or other evidence supporting the use of cameras in areas where needs for additional traffic safety measures are warranted.
The report required under Florida Statute §316.0083(4)(a), must include a written summary to be read out loud at the regular or special meeting, and the summary must contain, for the same time period pertaining to the annual report the number of notices of violation issued, the number that were contested, the number that were upheld, the number that were dismissed, the number that were issued as uniform traffic citations, and the number that were paid and how collected funds were distributed and in what amounts.
ANALYSIS
For the period from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, the City of Miami Beach recorded 7,838 notices of violation issued, two (2) violations contested, one (1) violation upheld, two (2) violations dismissed, 2,597 violations issued as uniform traffic citations, and 3,861 violations paid. The collected funds were distributed in accordance with Florida Statute §316.0083(4) in the amounts of $307,860.00 to the General Revenue Fund ($70.00 per violation), $43,980.00 to the Health Emergency Medical Services Trust Fund ($10.00 per violation), and $13,194.00 to the Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund ($3.00 per violation).
The signed Resolution which includes the above summary and report (Exhibit A) as attached will be formally submitted to the FLHSMV in fulfilment of Florida Statute §316.0083(4)(a)2.
FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
The collected State funds were distributed in accordance with Florida Statute §316.0083(4) in the amounts of $307,860.00 to the General Revenue Fund ($70.00 per violation), $43,980.00 to the Health Emergency Medical Services Trust Fund ($10.00 per violation), and $13,194.00 to the Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund ($3.00 per violation).
