The contract with American Traffic Solutions will be terminated, leaving the company 60 days to wrap up operations in the city, according to the Miami Herald.

During his campaign, newly-elected Mayor Francis Suarez promised to eliminate the cameras.

"These red-light cameras are essentially another tax, one that the residents of my district cannot afford," said Commissioner Manolo Reyes. "I thank my colleagues and Mayor Francis Suarez for their support."
