Sensys 1679 Gatso Group's North American operations, Gatso USA, has been operating the City of Abington’s photo enforcement program for one year and has just received an extension to the contract for an additional two years.


There are only two photo enforcement programs in Pennsylvania; Philadelphia and Abington. Seventeen other eligible cities have yet to enter into photo enforcement programs after enabling legislation was passed in 2013.

"It is a privilege to receive this extension from the City of Abington as it demonstrates the shared commitment and partnership between Gatso and the City stakeholders to deliver a quality safety program to the residents of Abington”, says Andrew Noble, president of Gatso USA.
