The specific focus will be the department's response to fare evasion. The goal is to uncover any disparity and ultimately give the transit authority recommendations to improve its practices.
The Center for Policing Equity previously found that Black BART passengers were stopped eight times more often than white passengers, and 15 times more likely to experience use of force by police. Building on that data, CPE is now looking into issues around fare evasion.
Over the next 18 months, CPE will be conducting focus groups and interviewing passengers to get a more qualitative understanding of what passengers face. In a statement to ABC7 News, BART Interim-Chief Kevin Franklin writes that BART is, "committed to continuing with this work as part of the department's commitment to equitable policing."
