MTS moves to adopt new penalty program for passenger violations

The Metropolitan Transit System board of directors approved a new administrative penalty program for fare evasion and certain passenger conduct violations on Oct. 15, according to a press release from the agency. Under the program, eligible citations will be moved out of the criminal court system and into an administrative review process instead. Riders who receive these citations will pay a fine and can contest it through the agency rather than face a criminal charge. This process is similar to how San Diego handles parking tickets as civil matters and not crimes.

The backlog has also nearly tripled in size since 2021, even as the city poured more money and overtime hours into the repair program.
