Cleveland Traffic Cameras bring in $6.5 MILLION / year.

In news that is sure to make other cities more eager to put ticket-writing cameras at every intersection, Cleveland officials announced that its camera program brought in over six million dollars last year alone. And that is with a collection rate of only 50%-70%.

The profit margin for the city is huge, as well; Cleveland keeps half of that money and half of it goes back to the private company that installed and maintains the cameras.
