Fair Entry Act
Restoring Trust, Reforming Our Way of Enforcement, and Sharing Responsibility
Washington, D.C. relies heavily on automated traffic enforcement, a system many residents believe has drifted from safety toward revenue and surveillance. At the same time, millions of visitors use our roads and infrastructure every year without contributing directly to their the upkeep or expansion of our system.
Regan’s Fair Entry Framework is a balanced approach to restoring trust in traffic enforcement while ensuring everyone who benefits from D.C.’s infrastructure helps sustain it. This is not about punishment. It’s about fairness, safety, and shared responsibility.

What This Framework Focuses On
1) Reforming Automated Traffic Enforcement
2) Fairer Speeding Penalties for D.C. Residents
3) Shared Infrastructure Contribution from Visitors
4) Privacy, Transparency & AccountabilityReforming Automated Traffic Enforcement
Regan supports a comprehensive review of the city’s use of speed cameras to ensure they are accurate, fairly placed, and genuinely focused on safety — not revenue generation.
Key actions include:
Pausing the expansion of new speed cameras while enforcement practices are reviewed
Evaluating camera placement, accuracy, and community impact
Ensuring automated enforcement aligns with Vision Zero safety goals, not budget gaps
Fairer Speeding Penalties for D.C. Residents
Traffic enforcement should encourage safer driving — not trap residents in cycles of fines and debt.
Regan supports:
Reducing excessive speeding fines for D.C. residents
Expanding alternatives such as driver safety education, community service, and corrective programs
Protecting residents from punitive penalties while maintaining accountability for dangerous driving
Shared Infrastructure Contribution from Visitors
Visitors enjoy and rely on D.C.’s roads, bridges, and public infrastructure every day. Regan believes it’s reasonable to explore fair, legally sound ways for non-resident drivers to contribute to the upkeep of the systems they use.
This framework calls for:
Studying visitor-based infrastructure contributions, including entry pricing or congestion-style models, consistent with federal law
Coordinating with regional and federal partners to ensure fairness and compliance
Ensuring any contribution system is transparent, limited in scope, and focused on infrastructure needs; not punishment
Privacy, Transparency & Accountability
Any traffic or tolling system must respect civil liberties.
Regan supports:
Strong privacy protections and limits on data retention
Clear rules prohibiting third-party data sharing
Public reporting on revenue use and enforcement outcomes
How Funds Would Be Used
Revenue generated through reformed enforcement and visitor contributions would be dedicated to:
Road maintenance and traffic calming improvements
Driver education and community safety programs
Legal aid and support for residents navigating traffic enforcement disputes
Washington, D.C. is open and welcoming to residents and visitors alike. This framework does not close our gates or discourage tourism. It simply recognizes that fairness means responsibility is shared, trust is restored, and safety comes first. Regan’s approach is measured, legally sound, and focused on results; not surveillance. not punishment.
