The objective of the program is to reduce collisions and injuries related to red light running through a combination of law enforcement and improvements to traffic signals operations throughout the city. Thus, a safer environment is created for both pedestrian and drivers. The significant changes to the department, both in authorized positions and budget, are as follows: • FY2008 — FY2010: The adopted budget reflects the creation of the Red Light Enforcement center within the Transportation and Public Works department, with an adopted budget of $322,988 and three positions. • FY2010: A Hearing Officer position related to the Red Light Enforcement center was transferred from the Municipal Court department.

Prior to FY2011 only administrative costs were specifically tracked in the General Fund. • FY2012: The adopted budget increased by $3M and 39 APs for the transfer in of the Signs and Markings and Traffic Signal Maintenance divisions from the Transportation and Public Works department and $2M and 2 APs for the enhancement of the traffic safety program. In addition the adopted budget increased $1 M for the payment to the State of Texas for the State Trauma Fund and $570K for additional camera installations. • FY2013: Two positions, a Professional Engineer and Construction Inspector II, in the Traffic Safety Program were eliminated. In addition the adopted budget decreased by $2M for the reduction of contractual services in the Traffic Safety Program. • FY2014 — FY2015: The two fiscal years reflect a fluctuation in payments made to the State Trauma Fund. The payment to the state is driven by annual revenue collected less allowable administrative expenses. Since 2008, the program has grown to include 58 cameras at 44 intersections. In addition to the growth, the Fund has under gone significant changes as a result of citywide organizational alignment as well as prioritization of City's services and economic conditions.
