Red light camera revenue diverted to general budget and police
Failure to meet revenue targets for road safety reserve fund
Councillors express shock and disappointment at fund misallocation

360 summary

The audit revealed that city staff mistakenly assumed that not meeting the revenue target would not affect the operating budget, leading to a lack of funds directed to the road safety reserve.
A decision made in 2019 to allocate $3 million annually to the Ottawa Police Service from red light camera revenue contributed to the misallocation, diverting funds from road safety initiatives.
The failure to allocate new revenues from additional red light cameras to the road safety reserve fund could undermine public trust in the program and limit the effectiveness of road safety initiatives funded by these revenues.
