BURLINGTON, ON. July 23, 2013. This is a nice little money-maker. The Region has had two red light cameras in operation since March 2012. They announced yesterday that an additional five are going to be installed. Any idea why? Public safety perhaps? Try again – think revenue stream.
As of July 19, there have been 663 red light infractions, which means that 663 people have gotten letters in the mail with a bill for $325
Rounding out the numbers at 330 infractions per camera and 7 cameras going in and the tickets priced at $325 – the Region will have pocketed $750,710 each year.
Nice little bit of business. The Region originally announced a total of 12 red light camera going in.
