What is the Red Light Camera Program?
The Red Light Camera Program uses technology that enables us to automatically take high-resolution photographs of vehicles that go through red lights, including close-ups of the license plates. Summonses are issued to the owners of the vehicles, as with parking violations. The photos are included with the summonses. New York City DOT had the first full-time red light photographic enforcement program in the United States. We were the first jurisdiction to send photos to respondents as part of the summons.
