![]() NYCT is working with the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) to implement transit priority across the city, including the recently announced city commitment to 50 miles of protected bus lanes annually for the next five years. The posters will be installed on those buses this month, and the campaign will continue as NYCT expands the ABLE program. The new campaign features “Are you a bus?” posters noting that “Bus lanes are for buses,” which will be posted on the backs of the buses equipped with Automated Bus Lane Enforcement (ABLE) camera systems. MTA says enforced bus lanes are key to improving bus service, and to heighten awareness of their use, New York City Transit (NYCT) is launching an awareness campaign targeted to motorists. The primary indicator of bus reliability, Wait Assessment, is at 76.7 percent on the route – the highest it’s been for the past 15 months. Since camera enforcement on the M15 began, there have been improvements in bus speeds on First and Second Avenues, with increases of up to 34 percent in some segments. State legislation mandated a 60-day grace period before violators are fined for standing or parking in the bus lanes. ![]() The forward-facing cameras on buses serving the M15 SBS route on First and Second Avenues in Manhattan were implemented on Oct. The bus-mounted cameras on the M15 Select Bus Service (SBS) route will now issue violations to bus lane blockers with fines up to $250, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA).
