A report from the Center for Policing Equity concludes that BART's fare evasion enforcement lacks clarity and effectiveness. It recovers minimal revenue and fails to enhance rider safety. The analysis done alongside BART revealed that there are no explicit objectives outlined by the transit system regarding the enforcement of fare evasion, leading to inefficient policing mandates. The study calls for BART to define its goals clearly and assess the actual impact of fare enforcement on public safety and revenue generation.
"BART's focus on fare evasion recovers minimal revenue, may be addressing an overstated problem, and is not effective at curbing incidents that make riders feel uneasy in the system."
"If BART has other explicit objectives for fare evasion enforcement, it should clearly state those goals and explain the specific mechanisms through which they expect those activities to address their goals."
