Subject: Business Rules change with American Traffic Solutions (ATS) in refere[We to right
turn on red enforcement
Background Summary:
During the August 19, 2014 Commission meeting the Commission gave direction to negotiate with American
Traffic Solutions (ATS) the possibility of removing the enforcement of right hand turns on red. The enforcement
of violations is a business rule within the contract and does not need negotiations; the City only needs to
change the business rule and notify ATS of the change. The Ocoee Intersection Safety Program has been very
successful in changing driving behavior and removing right turn on red enforcement will significantly hinder the
programs efforts to decrease crashes in the City of Ocoee.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve staff's recommendation to keep right
turn on red enforcement?
Recommendations
It is recommended that the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve staff's
recommendation to keep right turn on red enforcement.
Attachments:
Business ules
Financial Impact:
If the Commission removes right hand turn violations it would affect the City's Budget by approximately
$800,000 of which monies would have to be found by another source. The removal of right turn on red from the
program would leave the program no longer viable due to the monthly expenses.
