The goal is to improve bus speeds and reliability. Parked cars and vehicles illegally using dedicated bus lanes and bus stop zones slow buses down and impedes customer safety.
Metro has installed cameras on 140 buses, on 31 routes that run along bus only lanes in the District. The cameras will capture violators and then wirelessly transmit the encrypted videos and photos directly to the DDOT for review and enforcement. The Clear Lanes program is part of Metro’s Better Bus Initiative to improve bus service throughout the region and make bus a mode of choice for customers. In the District, where a majority of Metrobus customers do not own cars, the program is expected to improve service for more than 60 percent of DC bus customers.From DDOT:
During the warning period, drivers illegally operating, parking, standing, or stopping in bus lanes and bus zones may receive a warning letter in the mail to the vehicle’s registered address. These warning letters are not accompanied by fines.
