The City of Tallahassee’s school speed zone camera program generated approximately $3.3 million in revenue and issued 46,764 notices of violation during the 2025–26 fiscal year, according to an annual report scheduled for presentation to the City Commission on November 18.
The report, prepared by the Tallahassee Police Department, covers enforcement activity from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
During the reporting period, 48 speed cameras operated at 23 Leon County public schools within city limits.
Of the 46,764 notices issued, 30,116 were paid. Another 10,482 violations resulted in uniform traffic citations, while 1,191 were pending conversion to traffic citations.
The report indicates that 138 contested violations were upheld, two were dismissed, and 83 remained pending.
Revenue Distribution
The program generated $3,299,076.62 in total collections, including payments from notices of violation and uniform traffic citations.
Of that amount, the City retained approximately $1.41 million after payments to the camera vendor, RedSpeed FL, LLC. The vendor received approximately $730,321.
The City’s retained revenue supports its school crossing guard program and other public safety initiatives.
Other distributions included approximately $396,000 to Leon County Schools and payments to state government agencies.
Program Background
City commissioners approved the camera enforcement ordinance in May 2024, following a traffic study that identified significant speeding near local schools.
The study recorded more than 47,000 speeding violations in one day and identified 29 school locations where at least 100 vehicles exceeded posted speed limits by 10 mph or more.
The November 18 agenda item is informational, with city staff recommending that commissioners accept the annual report.
