PBOT will race into your wallet if you race down streets or screw up at intersections. New email:
(Aug. 4, 2025) The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) and the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) announced today its contract with NovoaGlobal to supply and operate Portland’s Speed and Intersection Safety Camera program.
The safety camera program is a critical component of Portland’s Vision Zero program, which aims to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries. Oregon state law allows cities to use speed and intersection safety cameras to improve traffic safety. The program is funded by the revenue from camera citations and traffic safety diversion class registration fees.
NovoaGlobal will be the City of Portland’s sole supplier and operator for the Speed and Intersection Safety Camera program, as well as PPB Traffic Division’s two mobile speed enforcement vans. The 32 cameras are composed of 15 speed safety cameras, which enforce only speeding; and 17 intersection safety cameras, which enforce both speeding and traffic signal compliance.
NovoaGlobal currently operates in the United States and South America, including Washington, D.C., Tacoma, and Beaverton. Their comprehensive traffic safety solutions—including red light, speed, and school zone speed enforcement—offer turnkey programs to help combat the ongoing crisis of traffic-related injuries and fatalities.
Work is underway to install its industry-leading technology at Portland’s 32 existing camera locations and two mobile vans. The new camera installation work is projected to be complete by November 1.
As part of this transition, the city will add three additional locations to its safety camera network:
SE Powell Boulevard at 34th Avenue (westbound)
NE 82nd Avenue at Fremont Street (southbound)
NE 82nd Avenue at Klickitat Street (northbound)The city initiates a 30-day warning period before new cameras begin issuing citations.
In addition, the city will install two speed safety cameras on SE Powell Boulevard at or near 60th Avenue by January 2026. Two cameras to be installed on SW Barbur Boulevard in the 5900 to 6100 blocks are also in the design phase.
This fall, PBOT and PPB will undertake a camera expansion planning process to expand beyond the 40 existing and planned locations. New locations are selected based on traffic crash data and site suitability. All of Portland’s safety cameras are on Portland's High Crash Network which represents just 8% of Portland’s streets but accounted for 70% of deadly crashes in 2022.
Speeding is deadlySpeeding is a top contributing factor to deadly crashes across the Portland region. Even small increases in speed can significantly increase both the risk of crashing and the severity of injuries when a collision occurs. A pedestrian hit at 20 mph has a 20% chance of severe injury or death, while a pedestrian hit at 40 mph has an 80% chance of severe injury or death.
Speed and intersection safety cameras in Portland are an effective and popular way to reduce dangerous speeding. Since the first speed safety cameras were installed in 2016, speeding at all camera locations dropped 59% and top-end speeding (more than 10 mph over the speed limit) dropped 88%.
In addition to local success, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration completed an international survey of automated enforcement and found that speed safety camera enforcement reduces injury crashes by 20 to 25%. A more recent study from the public health network Cochrane found that speed safety cameras reduced total crashes by up to 49% and deadly and serious injury crashes by up to 44%.
In PBOT’s Nov. 2024 survey of nearly 2,000 Portlanders, 82% of surveyors expressed support for Portland’s intersection safety cameras, 76% supported Portland’s speed safety cameras, and 72% supported Portland Police’s mobile vans.
The cameras are part of PBOT's multipronged safety strategy with roadway redesign, speed limit reduction, and education. This integrated strategy has dramatically decreased both speeding (a primary cause of Portland traffic fatalities) at camera locations. The 85th percentile speed (also known as the prevailing speed) at Portland’s speed safety camera locations dropped by 10 mph or 22% between 2015 and 2024.
By leveraging the most advanced automated technology available, the city will continue its efforts to make Portland’s streets safer for all.

Ferraris…took first-class flights from Redmond to Portland…and rented SUVs to get around the city on his trips to Portland, including a Mercedes. Ferraris’s contract includes a $75 hourly travel fee.
…contract between #PPB and #Ferraris Investigations prohibits luxury travel accommodations in its list of expenses eligible for reimbursement, noting airfare should be the “lowest coach fare available” and rental vehicles should be chosen based on the most economical option… -
I get why the #Portland #Police department might want to have a plane available for emergencies (even if we disagree what constitutes an emergency) but why are we paying for them to fly this fucking thing every day in circles for no reason?

Reading part 2 that hasn't made it to the website yet.
Studies across the country, showing how having more cops does nothing to reduce the "crime wave". #Portland #PPB currently funded to $295 million. #PDX has a program called Portland Street Response or #PSR that is so underfunded, I wonder if they can even put gasoline in the tank to do what cops are NOT trained to do.

fuck every #portland local news station too. to an outlet, every one of them uncritically parroted this fascist disinfo smear. #koin #katu #kgw #fox12 should all apologize.
not a single one of them learned shit from the alt right “concrete milkshake” disinfo that PPB propagated, which resulted in multiple bomb threats & two evacuations of #portland city hall.
cops lie. they lie constantly and routinely, and they don’t care if their lies get people hurt or killed. especially #PPB #PortlandPolice https://infosec.exchange/@risibledog/111962023928928697

that #frontline doc last night had me reflecting on another #January6 precursor which took place in #PDX.
2018-08-04, PORTLAND:
#PPB had set up a designated safe space for the #altright to hold their klan rally, but were trying to check for weapons as a condition of entering the event area. (fascist facebook influencer #JoeyGibson had been making lots of noise about how it would soon be “time for the guns to come out” in his war against portlanders who don’t appreciate nazis murdering their friends). anyway, the out of town fascists (many of whom later did january 6) just refused to enter and held a larger, armed rally right next to the space until they got treated to the spectacle of Portland Police suddenly-but-predictably attacking the anti-nazi #portland residents with near-deadly force.2021-01-06, DC:
a similar dynamic took place in #DC on #j6 - lots of the #MAGA fascists didn’t want to go through the metal detectors and have their weapons confiscated in order to watch their would-be dictator give one more of his trademark syphilitic rants, so they just waited nearby until it was time to do the putsch. according to the #J6Committee this made #trump really angry (no joke: because it made the crowd look smaller on camera) and he demanded that the metal detectors be removed.https://infosec.exchange/@risibledog/111860367099033499

Effective october 11th, Chuck Lovell will no longer be police chief. He said that Wheeler's announcement that he would not be running again, created an "ideal moment to step away" Bob Day will serve as interim police chief.
