The penalties and fees collected from the imposition of civil liability under this
article shall be deposited in the traffic safety fund account established by the city
council. Funds from the traffic safety fund may be expended only for the operational
costs of automated signal enforcement under this article or public traffic or pedestrian
safety programs, traffic enforcement and intersection improvements. After deductions
have been made for purchasing, operation, maintenance, and installation of the photographic
traffic signal enforcement system, the department shall, not later than the sixtieth
day after the fiscal year, send fifty (50) percent of the net revenue collected from
the photographic traffic signal enforcement system to the comptroller for deposit
to the credit of the regional trauma account established under § 782.002, Texas Health
and Safety Code.
