Calgary police revenue from speeding ticket enforcement down $13M-15M this year

The 'significantly lower than expected fine revenue' comes nearly a year after the Alberta government vowed to remove photo radar traps from Calgary's ring road

The Calgary Police Service will collect millions of dollars less from speeding tickets than it expected this year, blaming recent provincial restrictions on the use of photo radar.

In a budget adjustment letter sent to the city’s chief financial officer last month, Calgary Police Commission chair Shawn Cornett said CPS is set to collect $13 million to $15 million less in revenue from speeding tickets than was forecasted.
