Verra Mobility to deploy 187 cameras across Hawaii in 10-year deal

Verra Mobility has secured a 10-year, US$160m contract with the Hawaii Department of Transportation to expand automated red-light and speed enforcement across the state, creating the first statewide programme of its kind in the United States. The agreement will grow the existing network from 17 sites to 187 dual-enforcement cameras across Hawaii’s major islands.

Data from the programme’s first year on Oahu showed a 62% decline in daily red-light running violations at camera locations, a 76% reduction in major crash rates, and 90% of violators not receiving a second citation after an initial penalty. Speed enforcement, introduced earlier in 2025, recorded more than 510,000 violations in its first six months, with some vehicles exceeding 100 mph.

Construction on the next phase has already begun, with 30 additional cameras expected to be installed and operational in 2026. Each of the state’s major islands is scheduled to receive cameras in subsequent years.

In a statement, Edward Tiedje, Vice President of Government Solutions at Verra Mobility, said: “Hawaii has shown immense leadership in elevating the safety needs of the entire state. They’ve executed strategically and quickly in order to prioritise road safety.”
