Existing law requires San Francisco to provide to the transportation and judiciary committees of the Legislature, no later than March 1, 2015, an evaluation of the effectiveness and impact on privacy of video imaging parking violations occurring in transit-only traffic lanes if San Francisco installs automated forward-facing parking control devices on city-owned public transit vehicles for that purpose.
