The story
Tallulah Falls’ latest documented move toward camera-based traffic enforcement came March 12, 2026, when the town placed an item on its agenda concerning authorization for Altumint’s DRIVES e-Services designation and state-law requirements. The item suggests officials were considering an administrative step connected to a proposed automated-enforcement program, but the agenda does not say whether the governing body authorized it.
The unanswered decision matters because the proposed arrangement could determine whether Tallulah Falls uses camera technology to identify traffic violations and how citations would be handled. Under the November proposal, Altumint would provide automated detection, images and administrative services, while the town would retain final responsibility for reviewing recorded events and authorizing citations.
The March item followed a November 13, 2025 agenda entry that put a photo-enforcement services agreement involving Altumint before the town. That earlier step laid out the prospective service relationship; the later agenda item pointed to a distinct state-registration-related authorization that could be needed if the program moved forward. Together, the items show continued consideration, not a documented sequence of approvals.
Altumint was identified in the proposed agreement as the company that would perform the technology and administrative functions. Tallulah Falls, however, would keep the final role in reviewing recorded incidents and deciding whether to authorize citations under the proposed terms. The March agenda item separately concerned designation for Altumint’s DRIVES e-Services and compliance with state-law requirements, placing the town’s governing body at the center of both potential decisions.
Both actions documented so far are agenda proposals, not completed acts. The November record establishes that officials scheduled consideration of an Altumint agreement, and the March record establishes that they scheduled consideration of a related authorization. Neither record establishes an executed agreement, authorized agent, installed or operating cameras, or citations issued; nor do the agendas state a final vote or other final action.
The next public step would be a meeting minute, executed agreement or completed authorization record showing how Tallulah Falls acted on the proposals. Until one appears, it remains undecided in the public record whether the town adopted, changed or declined the Altumint arrangement; whether it completed the DRIVES-related authorization; and whether photo enforcement will operate on any final terms.

Tallulah Falls considered a proposed Altumint agreement and a later authorization-related item, but the agenda records do not establish what the governing body ultimately did.
