DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — THE METROPOLITAN TRANSIT AUTHORITY has added to its Automatic Camera Enforcement program two more Brooklyn bus routes that originate along the downtown corridors, according to an announcement in the July 9 Community Board newsletter.
The B38 to Ridgewood, whose route includes Tillary, Fulton and Bond streets, and the B103, which travels from the Cadman Plaza West/Tillary Street intersection through Boerum Hill and Flatbush to Canarsie, will begin the ACE program this Monday.
The ACE program is a bus-mounted camera system that issues violations to vehicles occupying bus lanes, double parked vehicles along bus routes and vehicles blocking bus stops. The program is administered in partnership between the MTA and the city departments of Finance and Transportation. It is currently active on 63 bus routes, serving over one million average weekday riders. Drivers along the new routes will be given a 60-day grace period before fines are issued.
Last month, on June 9, the MTA began using cameras on the B51 bus route, which runs from Bedford-Stuyvesant to John F. Kennedy International Airport via Marcus Garvey Boulevard.
