In October 2025, the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) will introduce two new mobile Speed Safety Camera (SSC) systems as part of its Automated Vehicle Identification System (AVIS) technology. The department states that while this technology is new to Colorado Springs, it has been effective in improving roadway safety in other cities globally.
The CSPD outlined its approach to traffic safety, saying, “We strive to improve traffic safety in the community by increasing voluntary compliance with laws and best driving practices. We do this through education, communication, collaboration, and enforcement. Enforcement includes leveraging technology in ways that improve the safety of community members throughout Colorado Springs.”
According to CSPD, the SSCs are intended to complement existing AVIS technologies such as photo red light enforcement and are one aspect of a broader traffic enforcement strategy. The mobile cameras will be deployed in vehicles and used specifically in four types of areas: school zones, roads bordering municipal parks, neighborhoods, and construction zones.
The department emphasized its focus on child safety: “Our deployment strategy prioritizes protecting our children, so we will be deploying to school zones during morning drop-off and afternoon pickup. In between those times, we will be on roadways bordering municipal parks and neighborhoods. Construction zones will be enforced as well, depending upon need and location.”
Before official enforcement begins with these systems, CSPD plans a 30-day warning period for the community once the vehicles equipped with SSCs arrive. Additional information about the program will be provided before this period starts.
CSPD encourages residents seeking more details about the AVIS program or updates regarding speed safety cameras to visit their website at https://coloradosprings.gov/speed-safety-camera-program.
This public notification is issued in accordance with C.R.S. §42-4-110.5 and City Code §10.1.115 to meet requirements for announcing new AVIS system implementations.
