Automated bike lane enforcement launches in Sacramento, first in the nation
( — The City of Sacramento will be the first in the Nation to launch bus-mounted technology for automated bike lane enforcement, according to officials. Video Above: Sacramento using AI-powered cameras on buses to combat parking violations The partnership between the city and Sacramento Regional Transit involved the use of technology installed on transit buses to target illegally parked cars in bike lanes. This comes after SacRT's announced their automated bus stop enforcement program earlier this year, which identifies and reports illegally parked cars on bus lanes. The city said this is a move to 'protect vulnerable road users and improve roadway safety citywide.' 'We're proud to be the first city in the country to use this technology to help keep our bike lanes clear,' said Staci Hovermale, Parking Services Manager. 'This tool helps us enforce existing parking rules more effectively, improving safety for cyclists and ensuring everyone shares the road responsibly.' Officials said those who park in bike lanes are forcing cyclists into traffic, putting their safety at risk. The technology will enhance safety and predictability for everyone on the road. Thunder Valley Casino Resort warns of false online ads regarding its offerings According to the city, 100 SacRT buses have front-facing cameras that use machine learning artificial intelligence by Hayden AI that detect illegally parked cars. The system will capture a short video and a photo of license plates, along with the exact time and location of the violation. The violation processing software will be provided by Duncan Solutions. The city then receives the information for review and violation processing. Those illegally parked in bike lanes began receiving warning notices on Monday, April 14. Beginning June 13, violations with fines will begin to be issued, according to officials. Assembly Bill 361 allowed the authorization for California cities to use forward-facing cameras for enforcing parking violations in these areas. 'Keeping bike lanes clear is an important part of making Sacramento a place where everyone can thrive,' said SacRT General Manager/CEO Henry Li. 'This program will help improve safety and travel times for everyone on Sacramento roads, no matter how you travel around.' Parking enforcement officers with the city will either approve or reject parking violations detected. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

'It's a significant complement to the catalytic redevelopment in this area that has spurred mixed income housing, employment and economic development, and cultural amenities that will enhance quality of life in the district.' In November 2023, the SacRT Board of Directors voted against building the station but two months later the board reversed its decision. SacRT said the project costs $43 million. According to the transit agency, major construction will begin this summer and the station is expected to open by the end of 2026. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
