Sacramento Leads the Nation with First-Ever Bus-Mounted Technology for Automated Bike Lane Enforcement

Sacramento, CA – The City of Sacramento and Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT) are partnering to launch automated bike lane enforcement, making Sacramento the first city in California – and in the United States – to enforce bike lanes using technology installed on transit buses. This initiative expands upon SacRT’s automated bus stop enforcement program, which currently equips 100 SacRT buses with camera systems to identify and report vehicles illegally parked along bus stops. Now, that same technology will also target illegal parking in bike lanes — a move by the City of Sacramento to protect vulnerable road users and improve roadway safety citywide. Why this program is essential When vehicles park illegally in bike lanes, cyclists are forced into traffic, putting them at greater risk of serious injury or worse. By keeping bike lanes clear, this program enhances safety and predictability for everyone on the road — whether they are walking, biking, driving, or riding transit. How this program works One hundred SacRT buses are equipped with front-facing cameras powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) from Hayden AI. These cameras detect and record instances of illegal parking in Sacramento bus stops and bike lanes. When a violation occurs, the system captures a short video and a photo of the vehicle’s license plate, and the exact time and location of the incident. This information is then sent to the City of Sacramento for review and violation processing. As of Monday, April 14, 2025, drivers illegally parked in Sacramento bike lanes will receive warning notices in the mail. Violations with an accompanying fine will be issued starting Friday, June 13, 2025. This program is made possible by Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361), which authorizes California cities to use forward-facing cameras for enforcing parking violations in bike lanes and transit zones — a vital legislative step toward making streets safer for everyone. Key details for drivers: Notification start date: Monday, April 14, 2025, began a 60-day grace warning period. Violation start date: Violations with fines will be issued starting Friday, June 13, 2025. Violation process: If a vehicle is detected obstructing a bike lane, a parking violation will be mailed to the registered owner. “We’re proud to be the first city in the country to use this technology to help keep our bike lanes clear,” said Staci Hovermale, Parking Services Manager for the City of Sacramento. “This tool helps us enforce existing parking rules more effectively, improving safety for cyclists and ensuring everyone shares the road responsibly.” “Keeping bike lanes clear is an important part of making Sacramento a place where everyone can thrive,” said SacRT General Manager/CEO Henry Li. “This program will help improve safety and travel times for everyone on Sacramento roads, no matter how you travel around.” California-based Hayden AI is providing the automated bus stop and bike lane enforcement camera systems for SacRT buses, and Duncan Solutions is providing the violation processing software. All evidence packages of parking violations detected by the camera systems are reviewed and ultimately approved or rejected by parking enforcement officers with the City of Sacramento. “We’re honored to support Sacramento in leading the way for bike lane safety,” said Lisa Schule, Executive Chairwoman of Hayden AI. “Using AI technology to protect bike lanes is a transformative shift for urban mobility and safety.”

Texas A&M Modernizes Campus Parking with Genetec

Texas A&M Modernizes Campus Parking with Genetec AutoVu ALPR

MONTRÉAL — Genetec Inc. (“Genetec”), the global leader in enterprise physical security software, today announced that Texas A&M University is successfully using Genetec AutoVu™ automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) technology to modernize its parking enforcement system. With a rapidly growing student and staff population, Texas A&M’s Transportation Services division faced increasing challenges in managing over 36,000 parking spaces. The manual processes of issuing and managing physical permits and conducting foot patrols for parking enforcement were time-consuming and inefficient. Following the successful implementation of Genetec Omnicast™, Texas A&M deployed a scalable and automated solution using Genetec AutoVu ALPR to overcome these parking enforcement challenges. By equipping enforcement vehicles with AutoVu SharpZ3 cameras and installing fixed ALPR cameras at parking lot entrances and exits, the university transitioned to a more efficient, real-time monitoring system. The automated system allows enforcement teams to quickly identify unregistered vehicles and reduce patrol times. The shift to virtual permits has also eliminated the need to print out a paper receipt to put on a dashboard before a hang tag arrives in the mail. Now, vehicle information is in the system almost immediately after the customer purchases the permit. “Moving away from paper permits and hang tags was a huge success, reducing time and resources required to enforce parking,” said Dell Hamilton, Parking Systems Manager at Texas A&M. “Leveraging Genetec AutoVu, we’re able to reallocate resources more efficiently, such as sending patrols more frequently to high violation areas, and have reduced overhead costs since we don’t print and distribute hang tags.” With the success of the Genetec AutoVu and Omnicast implementations, Texas A&M is looking to further enhance its parking infrastructure. Transportation Services is working with T2 Systems, a Genetec partner, to implement ALPR-based access control in one of the campus garages with an existing Genetec ALPR installation. Other garages may follow. Transportation Services has also outfitted more than 60 of its transit buses with Security Center Fleet Monitoring. The remaining 30+ buses are scheduled to be completed this year. “We’d like to continue expanding our use of Genetec ALPR. Whenever Genetec introduces a solution, it works,” said Hamilton. “Our team has been able to significantly improve our parking and transit operations using Genetec. I can’t imagine working with anyone else.” To read the full customer story, visit: https://www.genetec.com/customer-stories/texas-am About Genetec Genetec Inc. is a global technology company that has been transforming the physical security industry for over 25 years.
