Another L.A. County city using automated cameras to ticket bus lane violations
On Monday, Culver City officially launched its Automated Bus Lane and Bus Stop Enforcement (ABLE) Program, which uses bus-mounted automated enforcement technology to ticket drivers who block or illegally park in bus lanes, in front of bus stops or along shared bike lanes.
'These illegal parking violations impact the safety, accessibility, and efficiency of public transit—particularly for riders with disabilities—by preventing buses from safely pulling to the curb and forcing passengers to board in unsafe areas,' Culver City officials wrote in a news release.
The cameras are in use on Culver CityBus vehicles, which operate seven lines and encompass 33 square miles in Culver City and surrounding communities.
The cameras collect evidence of a violation which is later reviewed manually by a human employee. Once confirmed that a parking violation has occurred, a ticket is then mailed to the vehicle's owner.

A 60-day warning period has come to an end, meaning vehicles will start receiving citations this week. First time offenders can expect to receive a $293 citation for blocking or illegally parking in these designated spots; low-income plans are available to residents.
The parking restrictions are not new, but were previously only enforced when a traffic officer was on the scene. Culver CityBus joins LA Metro in administering parking tickets using camera mounted on its buses.
Other major cities, including Oakland and Sacramento in California, and New York City, have used similar systems with proven track records, of success, Culver City officials said.
In New York, since 2019 when camera enforcement began, bus speeds have increased by as much as 36% in certain high-traffic areas, and collisions along bus routes with the technology decreased by as much as 34%, officials said.

El Paso Police fight back vs. catalytic converter theft with VIN etching event
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The El Paso Police Department and Take 5 Oil Change are taking 'proactive steps' to protect vehicle owners from the rising threat of catalytic converter theft. To that end, they will host a Catalytic Converter Theft Prevention Event from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, July 26 at Take 5 Oil, 1341 N. Zaragoza. The event will offer vehicle owners free VIN etching services. El Paso has reported more than 800 catalytic converter thefts during the past three years, El Paso Police said. To help deter these crimes, the El Paso Police Department is providing free vehicle identification number (VIN) etching on catalytic converters. This process involves permanently marking the vehicle's VIN onto the converter, making it more difficult for thieves to sell the stolen part without proof of ownership, police said. This is a preventative measure aimed at reducing thefts and helping identify stolen property more easily, police said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

32.5 Million Engines Later, Honda's Ohio Plant Turns 40
Honda is celebrating 40 years of engine production at its Anna Engine Plant in Ohio. What started as a modest motorcycle engine facility in the mid-80s has grown into the company's largest engine plant in the world. As Honda shifts toward hybrid and electric power, shown by models like the new hybrid Prelude, the Anna plant is evolving to keep pace with the future of mobility. Since opening its doors in 1985, the Anna Engine Plant has built over 32.5 million engines. That includes everything from basic four-cylinders for the Civic to high-output V6s found in Acura performance cars and SUVs. Back then, it was a 200,000 square-foot facility with fewer than 100 workers. Today, it covers 2.8 million square feet and supports nearly 3,000 employees. The plant currently produces a wide range of four-cylinder and V6 engines, including turbocharged and hybrid variants. It also makes essential components like cylinder heads, camshafts, crankshafts, and the precision pulleys used in Honda's CVTs. Engines from Anna have powered some of Honda's most iconic vehicles. The plant builds the 190-hp 1.5-liter turbo used in the Civic, Accord, CR-V, and Acura Integra, as well as the 315-hp 2.0-liter turbo found in the Civic Type R and Integra Type S. It even produced the 500-hp 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that lived in the second-generation Acura NSX supercar. But Anna's output isn't all about performance. It's also behind the hybrid engines that help fuel-efficient models like the Accord and CR-V deliver impressive fuel economy. It's clear as day that the Anna Engine Plant has played a huge role in shaping Honda and Acura's lineup across North America. While gas and hybrid engines are still a major focus, Anna is already preparing for Honda's next chapter. The plant has started producing aluminum battery cases for upcoming EVs, using cutting-edge processes like megacasting, Minimum Quantity Lubrication machining, and friction stir welding. These battery cases will be shipped to the Marysville Auto Plant, where they'll be paired with battery modules to power the next generation of Honda and Acura electric vehicles, including the Honda Prologue. Full EV production is set to begin in Ohio in 2026. With four decades of experience and a clear role in Honda's future, the Anna Engine Plant continues to be a key part of the company's evolution.
