Florida’s School Zones Are Safer: Altumint’s New Safety Report Card Shows School Zone Speed Enforcement Driving Major Reductions in Speeding Violations
Orlando, FL – September 2025 – Two years after state lawmakers authorized school zone speed cameras with HB 657, Florida communities are seeing measurable results. Altumint’s newly released 2025 Traffic Safety Report Card demonstrates that automated enforcement programs are reducing dangerous speeding in school zones. These programs protect children, change driver behavior, and come at no cost to law-abiding, tax-paying citizens.
Key Findings from the 2025 Report Card:
- Niceville – Violations dropped from 43,200 in preliminary studies to 701 in May 2025, a 98.4% decrease in school zone speeding violations.
- Eustis – Violations fell from 21,740 in early speed studies to 502 in May 2025, a 97.7% reduction in overall speeding violations in school zones with active cameras.
- Baker County – Studies revealed there were 28,680 violations of speeding (drivers going in excess of 10 miles over the posted speed limit) in one month. In May 2025, during the programs warning period, the county saw an 89% decrease in violations. This shows that public communications around the program along with the warning period encouraged drivers to slow down significantly.
- Neptune Beach – Recorded a 48% decrease in violations after just one month of the program being active.
- Lake Alfred – Speeding violations dropped from 67,920 during preliminary studies, to 9,065 – an 86% decrease after four months of citations.
- Hialeah Gardens – Violations decreased by 95% within two months of citations being issued, from 38,358 per month to 2,062.
“Florida communities that have embraced school zone speed enforcement – and doing it correctly – are proving what the data has shown for years: when drivers are aware of the program, understand the dangers, and know there are consequences, they slow down,” said Jason Norton, CRO at Altumint, “These programs work to reduce speeds and make roadways safer for pedestrians, bicyclists, and commuters. The results we’re seeing today should encourage every community to take a closer look at how they are protecting students in their school zones.”
The report also highlights that successful implementation requires the right partner. Altumint was the first provider to introduce automated speed enforcement in Florida and remains the leader in best practices for a successful safety program – which includes a robust public education effort. With this expertise, municipalities can deploy programs quickly, compliantly, and with lasting impact.
With back-to-school season underway, Altumint urges more Florida municipalities to act now, ensuring children have safer routes to and from school before another academic year passes without proven protections in place.
