Maryland has joined the $1 million club. That’s if you’re counting how much revenue the state generated from its speed cameras.
According to AAA Mid-Atlantic, Maryland brought in nearly $64 million in automated traffic enforcement fines last fiscal year.
Montgomery County lead all state municipalities with nearly $16 million in ticket revenue. Baltimore City was the second highest jurisdiction, generating about $9.6 million in total revenue. That is the nominal value of approximately 240,000 speed camera tickets paid into the city’s coffers. Citing data from the Maryland Comptroller’s Office, the department reported Baltimore’s citywide speed camera program’s “implementation costs” totaled more than $2.2 million.
