SAN ANTONIO<\/strong> \u2013 San Antonio City Council will consider an item later this month to push forward plans to add nearly 100 traffic-monitoring and vehicle-detection cameras at intersections across the city. <\/p>\n

City Council will consider approving a construction contract priced at $2,667,888 during its A session meeting on Dec. 11. <\/p>\n

In total, 93 cameras will be installed. It is not immediately clear where or how the city identified which intersections were a priority. <\/p>\n

The devices are part of a larger program to improve traffic efficiency, helmed by the city\u2019s Public Works Department. The devices communicate with the Transportation & Infrastructure Management Center in the Transguide Traffic Management facility, according to a city website.<\/a> <\/p>\n

City documents say the move comes as \u201can effort to improve the safety and mobility for all modes of transportation and to reduce congestion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Construction on the project, funded through the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, will be handled by Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc. The city will manage the project.<\/p>\n

The Texas Department of Transportation will shoo-in just over $2.1 million in project funding. The city\u2019s portion of the bill, $533,577.60, is sourced from the Advanced Transportation District Fund.<\/p>\n

Construction would begin this year and reach completion by summer 2026, according to the documents.<\/p>\n

The city approved the funding agreement with TxDOT on Sept. 7. 2023.<\/p>\n

In late November, the city\u2019s Transportation Department launched a $1.2 million campaign<\/a> along three \u201chigh-injury\u201d corridors across the city. <\/p>\n

According to Texas Department of Transportation data, there were 769 pedestrian-involved accidents in the city in 2024. Of those, 168 people were seriously injured and 89 died.<\/p>\n

This week, the transportation department launched an interactive public dashboard, part of the larger $1.2 million campaign, that shows where severe and fatal crashes occurred in San Antonio<\/a>. <\/p>\n
