Waterloo Region says it has handed out tens of thousands of tickets since launching its new automated speed enforcement camera program in February.

A staff report, which will head to council next week, said that the region issued 55,899 tickets between Feb. 3 and July 31, with the median ticket amount being $108.25. Seventy-five per cent of the tickets have been mailed to area residents.

The tickets were generated from 17 active cameras, which were located in front of schools throughout the region, a number which will grow to 27 before the end of the year.

While a spokesperson for the region was unable to provide the total revenue over the first six months of the initiative, they said that the region expected to collect $9.8 million in ticket fines from the cameras in 2025.
