My third question is regarding automated ticketing enforcement by buses.

Since the roll out of automated ticketing enforcement on buses last year, there's been a lack of outreach to drivers resulting in significant confusion.

Many faith based institutions, particularly churches in my district previously received discretionary parking enforcement on days of worship.

With automated enforcement, congregants are now receiving tickets that are making attending religious services incredibly difficult.
