'Starting Oct.4 your Metro will begin a warning campaign to alert people who neglect to pay fares'
“Metro has a message for fare evaders: operating buses and trains isn’t free. Customers riding Metrobus and Metrorail are required to pay fares and will be warned accordingly. Starting Oct.4 your Metro will begin a warning campaign to alert people who neglect to pay fares that there are fines associated with fare evasion in each jurisdiction.
The campaign is designed to raise awareness of fines currently associated with Maryland and Virginia and inform fare evaders of the new civil penalties in the District that will take effect in November. Tickets are provided by each jurisdiction and until recent action in the District establishing an adjudication and appeals process, Metro did not have tickets to use in the District. Therefore, Metro did not have the ability to issue fare evasion citations in the District.
Metro relies on fare revenue to maintain rail and bus service which is critical with a budget gap expected to grow to more than half a billion dollars by fiscal 2025. While some school systems in the region provide transit benefits, students are still required to tap their card to travel and be counted for Metro to receive the revenue. Children aged four years and younger are free. Those adults who don’t pay are subject to the fines and other penalties associated with failure to pay.
