The MTA is implementing Automated Camera Enforcement (ACE) on M2 and M4 bus routes in Manhattan beginning July 18, aimed at penalizing vehicles obstructing bus lanes. Fines range from $50 to $250 for repeat offenders. Currently, over 1,200 buses are equipped with ACE, which has led to a 5% average bus speed increase on ACE routes and a reduction in collisions by 20%. Additionally, there is a notable decline in blocked bus stops, suggesting that ACE has a positive impact on bus service efficiency and safety.
Beginning July 18, MTA will equip M2 and M4 Manhattan bus routes with Automated Camera Enforcement (ACE) to issue fines to drivers obstructing bus lanes.
Fines for violating bus lane rules range from $50 to $250 for repeat offenders. Approximately 1,200 buses citywide are now equipped with ACE.
Bus speeds on ACE routes have increased by 5%, with some corridors seeing speed gains of up to 30%. These routes also show a significant reduction in collisions.
Only 9% of drivers receive more than two bus lane violations after being fined, suggesting that ACE effectively deters illegal parking in bus lanes.
