Metro Begins Bus Lane Camera Parking Ticket Program

Metro has launched its pilot Bus Lane Enforcement Program (BLE), a partnership with LADOT that uses on-bus cameras to issue tickets to cars obstructing priority bus lanes. 

The BLE is part of Metro’s NextGen Bus Plan, which aims to reimagine the city’s bus service to “focus on providing fast, frequent, reliable and accessible service.” And though the NextGen program has installed more than 40 miles of Bus Priority lanes, those lanes don’t work as intended when obstructed.
