SAFETY is PRIORITY 1 in this AZ city: by larsb on Wed Mar 11 11:45:00 PDT 2009; AZ City Photo Radar/Red Light Camera system saving LIVES but not MONEY: "If the road is safer, then the program is achieving its goal," While the state and some Valley cities report huge profits from photo radar, Mesa's program is actually costing the city money, but city officials say the program is worth the cost because it enhances public safety. The city lost $390,000 last calendar year on the program, which comes on the heels of a $281,000 deficit the year before. A significant loss also occurred during the start up year of 2006, when the program was expanded and the city switched contractors. But while the losses have climbed, the number of fatalities on city streets has decreased dramatically. There were 67 fatalities in 2005, compared with 29 last year. City officials are reluctant to attribute the decline to red light cameras, but they say the cost of photo radar is money well spent. "If we know the program is producing public safety results, it's an acceptable loss. The goal is public safety," said Mesa police Sgt. Andy Nesbit, who administers the program. Nesbit said the operating deficits stem from a combination of factors: When the Loop 202 was completed in east Mesa, the incidence of red light runners dropped at Higley and Brown roads and Higley and McKellipsroad, making those cameras less productive. Road improvements at Power and Baseline roads removed problems at a troublesome intersection where 7,000 drivers a year were running red lights. The improvements increased safety but cut revenue. The city loses about $150,000 a year on the costs of serving summonses to drivers who never pay their fines. Mesa police are looking for ways to reduce the losses while redeploying cameras to crack down on red light runners and speeders in school zones. The cost-saving efforts include going out to bid in September on a new process-serving contract for the photo radar program. Documents from the city of Mesa court system show there were nearly 40,000 citations issued in 2008, with slightly more than half coming from red-light cameras and the rest from speed cameras. However only about 11,000 of those citations were paid, and an additional 13,000 went to traffic school. In all, the city received about $2.4 million from the program. On the expense side, the city paid out about $1.7 million for the red light camera program costs; $159, 000 for intersection speed cameras; $230,000 for photo radar vans; $261,000 in process service fees; and nearly $450,000 in court and police expenses in running the program. A critic of the program, D.T. Arneson of Mesa, a photo radar opponent and volunteer with CameraFRAUD.com, said Mesa's program is "mind-boggling." "Only the government could take a complete moneymaker and lose money at it," he said. "The truth of the matter is its all about the money," with the contractor, American Traffic Solutions, still making plenty of money. With Mesa still suffering through a fiscal crisis, "I can think of a lot of jobs that $380,000 could go to right now," Arneson said. In contrast to Mesa, Tempe said its photo radar program made $1.56 million in 2008 and Chandler reports it made about $50,000. The Tempe and Chandler contracts are based on fees calculated per ticket. Mesa's contract, however, is based on flat fees paid for each photo radar device. Lenny Montanaro, Mesa's deputy court administrator, said he uses a more detailed formula than other cities to calculate the true costs of photo radar, including the salaries of court employees and time spent on hearings. Mesa signed a five-year contract with ATS in 2006, expanding the number of cameras from 17 to 34 after a record 67 traffic fatalities in 2005 turned into a rallying cry for improved highway safety. The previous record was 39 a decade earlier. But when the expanded program was approved, it also was supposed to either break even or make a small profit. The digital cameras represented a higher level of technology, with clearer images to identify drivers. Sean Casey, 14, a Rhodes student, became a symbol of the highway carnage when he was killed crossing Baseline Road at Longmore on Sept. 23, 2005 while on his way home from football practice. The boy was struck by a car driven by a woman who ran a red light. His father, Don, advocated for the safety crackdown. Eventually, the city launched an experiment with mid-block photo radar cameras in August 2008. A traffic study showed the cameras reduced the average speed from 47 mph to 36 mph during school hours, when the speed limit is 35 mph. "The goal is to suppress red light running," Nesbit said, not to reduce $380,000 in losses for the 2008-2009 fiscal year. "Priority number one is safety. Priority number two is cost neutral to the city." He said a driver going 36 mph can stop 60 feet sooner for a pedestrian, about four car lengths, than a driver going 47 mph. Traffic engineering improvements at new east Mesa intersections, at Power and Baseline roads and at Power and Main Street, vastly reduced the number of violations but also cut revenues, Nesbit said. During a construction project last year at Power and Baseline, there were as many as 7,000 violations in one year, he said, with drivers heading south on Power running the red light to turn east on Baseline Road during rush hour. After the project was completed, violations dropped to zero and the cameras were removed, Nesbit said. The same pattern occurred at Power and Main. Before a change in the timing of lights, the cameras recorded 17 to 20 red light runners a day. Violations dropped to about 20 a month after the improvements.
