Orlando council approves school‑zone speed‑detection contract with Verra Mobility
Summary
On Nov. 10, 2025 the Orlando City Council approved a contract with American Traffic Solutions, Inc., d/b/a Verra Mobility to install a school‑zone speed detection system, citing Florida Statute 316.0776. The mayor said the contract had been negotiated by city staff and signed by the vendor; the item passed on a voice vote.
The Orlando City Council approved a contract on Nov. 10 with American Traffic Solutions, Inc., doing business as Verra Mobility, to install a school‑zone speed‑detection system in the city.
Mayor Dyer introduced the item and cited Florida Statute section 316.0776, which requires any contract to place a speed‑detection system in a school zone to be presented for public comment and approved by the municipality before it can take effect. The mayor said the agreement had been negotiated by city staff and “already consented to and signed by Verra Mobility.”
Commissioner Rose moved the item and Commissioner Sheehan seconded. There were no requests for public comment; the council approved the motion by voice vote and the mayor announced the motion carried.
Why it matters: the statute requires local governing‑body approval before a school‑zone speed detection system becomes effective. The contract advances the city’s plan to use automated enforcement in school zones; the item record shows the agreement has been signed by the vendor and was presented for the council’s required approval.
What happens next: the approval authorizes the city’s implementation steps under the negotiated contract; the statute and council action dictate that the system may not be put into effect until the municipal governing body has acted and any required public‑notice steps are complete.
