City Council

Verra Mobility’s red light cameras land on a list of 37 surveillance tools up for review.

As Pittsburgh readies more red light cameras, council wants to know more about their surveillance abilities. The city's transportation director said the cameras capture only license plates. He said the city owns the data and destroys it within 30 days after a case ends. On Sept. 9, council also advanced a bill letting drivers pay tickets online and request hearings by phone or internet.

However, she said the city still pays if fines fall short.
