CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Cleveland is losing its red light cameras on March 31.
Traffipax Inc., the contract company that operates the five cameras here, has notified the city that it will decommission the cameras with a year still left on its three-year contract.
The company cites a financial loss on the cameras as its reason and claims the city has lost money, too.
“We are not making money but we haven’t lost money,” City Manager Janice Casteel said Friday. “All we have been able to do is pay for the cameras.”
Making money was not the reason the city agreed to the cameras in the first place, she said.
