Metro Transit Implements New Fare Enforcement Program, Issuing Citations to Unpaid Riders
TL;DR
Metro Transit in the Twin Cities is launching a new fare enforcement program called the Transit Rider Investment Program (TRIP), which will involve nonpolice community service officers checking for proof of payment on light-rail lines. Fare evaders will be issued noncriminal citations. Previously, police could only issue misdemeanor citations, but those have been rare in recent years. The new program aims to address frustration over fare evasion and improve fare collection for Metro Transit.
