DALLAS, March 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. today announced a contract to operate an intersection safety camera program for the City of Winnipeg, Canada. The five-year, competitively bid contract has a value of $25 million, with options for future years.

ACS has been Winnipeg's public safety traffic camera program partner since the city implemented the program in 2003. The city was the first major jurisdiction in Canada to use intersection safety cameras to address both red light running and speeding at intersections. Winnipeg's program presently includes the enforcement of 48 intersections and 10 mobile speed enforcement vehicles, as well as a dedicated ACS processing facility employing 50 people.

The Winnipeg award caps one of the most successful 18-month periods for ACS' public safety photo enforcement program in Canada, with five contract renewals and five competitively bid contract awards, in addition to Winnipeg.

"Our long association with ACS has helped improve public safety in the city of Winnipeg," said Chief of Police Keith McCaskill. "Our experience with photo enforcement technology clearly shows it deters dangerous driving behavior. With ACS' involvement, we continue to have an effective method to assist us in our efforts to protect our citizens by reducing traffic-related violations, collisions and injuries."

ACS currently processes violations, generates and mails notices, maintains all camera equipment, and produces program reports. The new contract also allows for the introduction of digital technology.

"We applaud Winnipeg for operating the most complex and innovative photo enforcement program in North America," said Norman Dong, ACS vice president, Transportation Solutions. "Canada is very important for our business, and we look forward to competing for other major opportunities to improve public safety through technology."

In the past 18 months, in addition to Winnipeg, ACS has received competitively re-bid contracts with the Alberta cities of Fort McMurray, Red Deer, St. Albert, and Strathcona County, as well as with Regina, Saskatchewan. Renewed contracts have been awarded by Camrose, Alberta, and in Ontario with Hamilton, Ottawa, Region of Peel, and Toronto. With an intersection safety presence in five provinces, ACS has processed more than 2 million photo enforcement tickets in Canada since 2000.

Based in seven provinces, ACS' more than 700 employees in Canada provide services to commercial and government clients, in addition to photo enforcement services. These include Canadian city and provincial jurisdictions, as well as government entities outside Canada.

In the U.S., ACS provides photo enforcement services to large jurisdictions, including Atlanta; Baltimore; Cleveland; Dallas; Denver; Portland, Ore.; Providence, R.I.; Raleigh, N.C.; San Francisco; Los Angeles County, Calif.; Montgomery County, Md; and the State of Illinois.
