* Estimated fines assume every ticket was paid at the lowest posted fine. That's an estimate, not money collected.
Eleven years of camera tickets
Red light tickets per year
Speed tickets per year
Chicago charges $35 for 6–10 mph over and $100 for 11 mph or more, so the speed-camera estimate is a range. The city's data doesn't split tickets by how fast the car was going.
The money
Speed: Estimated take: $97.5M to $278.6M, if every ticket were paid at the posted fines ($35–$100). (Sep 2025 – Aug 2026)
Red light: Estimated take: $54.1M, if every ticket were paid at the posted $100 fine. (Oct 2025 – Sep 2026)
Estimates aren't revenue. Some tickets get dismissed, reduced or never paid, and late penalties add to others. How we estimate.
