The D.C. government issued $84.9 million worth of traffic fines through its network of speed and traffic cameras mounted throughout the city in fiscal 2012, and 14 percent of that, $11.6 million, came from a single speed camera.

Mayor Vince Gray isn’t so sure about lowering fines for speed cameras, but he might be willing to establish graduated fines based on the number of violations.

The District is on pace to finish the current fiscal year with a $140 million budget surplus, Mayor Vince Gray’s office announced today, with $23 million being raked in by the city’s new traffic cameras.
