Culver City Documents -
Set # 13 New 9-3-04 Most cities demand, from their camera vendor, a monthly tabulation showing, among other things, how many tickets were issued that month at each intersection or "approach." While I have asked Culver City for a copy of their intersection-by-intersection tabulation several times now, so far they have not provided it (the first request is at: Culver City Documents Set # 1). They have provided some overall totals of tickets issued and collected, and that information is below. Footnotes are indicated by brackets ( ).
This table made by highwayrobbery.net, using official monthly tabulations and invoices. Any grand totals are as provided by the City. Footnotes to the table: (1) The figure for "Tickets Issued" comes from a monthly report which the police department provides to the city council. Samples of that report are reproduced in Culver City Documents Set # 1, pages 11 and 12.(2) The figure for "Tickets Paid" comes from a monthly memo (typically covering 30 days of activity, but ranging from 20 to 42 days) which the Automated Enforcement Section sends up the chain of command. Here is a recent example of that memo. ![]() (3) The "Number of Approaches Operating" comes from a monthly invoice which RedFlex submits to the City. ("Approach" is camera industry terminology meaning camera enforcement against traffic moving in 1 compass direction at an intersection. An intersection could have up to four Approaches operating - although in most cities, including Culver City, they just have one or two.) Through February 2004 the invoices were detailed - they contained a list showing each intersection where there was a camera, and indicated the number of Approaches at that intersection. Beginning with March 2004 the invoices say only: "March 2004 - Intersection Service Fee $32,859.40." There is no list of the intersections. (The "detailed" invoices showed that the City paid RedFlex $2347.10 monthly for each Approach.)
