Traffic enforcement

Newburgh Heights is a nationally-known leader in modern technology, employing traffic cameras along Interstate 77 that runs through it. In addition, traffic cameras are employed in the stretch of Harvard Avenue that leads to the I-77 on ramp. The penalties range from $150.00 to $300.00. Former mayor Trevor Elkins said the system is safer than when officers pull over speeding drivers. "The people who are speeding are not victims," Elkins said. "They were breaking the law, and they got caught." Mayor Elkins has stated publicly that he defends the use of the cameras and admits they generate revenue, and said in 2016, "do I recognize that they generate revenue? Absolutely. Do I apologize for that? No."
