(Acting Police Chief Ogburn) Background Summary: The City of Ocoee has several school zones within its jurisdiction with a high traffic volume. Oftentimes, this traffic is traveling in excess of the posted speed limit during the hours of school operations.

By installing speed zone enforcement cameras in these zones, we will be able to identify and enforce more violations, it will enhance the safety of the children who are walking to school and the safety of the school crossing guards. The installation of these cameras will reduce traffic crashes and the strain on law enforcement personnel. The presence of these cameras will act as a deterrent to speeding. The speed enforcement cameras will be installed by American Traffic Solutions, Inc., doing business as Verra Mobility.
