According to Schleifer, the program continues to fall short of revenue projections, while a promised audit comparing posted speed limits, programmed camera limits, and actual legal speed limits on roads has still not been completed.

Schleifer wrote that “accountability cannot only apply to residents, it must apply to contractors doing business with the City as well,” as the contract heads toward possible renewal discussions.

Budget documents shown during the hearing indicate the speed camera program came in roughly $5.3 million below projections, an 18% variance.

The issue is likely to fuel continued debate across Baltimore over traffic enforcement cameras, oversight, and whether the system is being properly managed.
