Concerning the distribution of automated traffic safety revenue.
SB 5757 requires Washington cities and counties using automated traffic safety cameras to conduct equity analyses before placing cameras, considering impacts on livability, accessibility, and traffic safety data like collision rates. It mandates annual public reports on camera locations, crash data, and how fine revenues are used (including costs and excess funds), with the state commission also reporting on statewide camera use and demographic impacts. The bill sets clear signage rules (30 days prior to activation), limits camera use to specific locations (excluding on-ramps), and restricts recordings to vehicle license plates without capturing faces. It applies directly to local governments operating cameras and vehicle owners receiving violation notices. The law aims to ensure transparency, equity, and accountability in automated traffic enforcement.
