Improving safety on the system: Metro launches TAP to exit pilot at North Hollywood B Line station beginning May 28
Your safety is our top priority, and we are continually testing new ways we can improve safety across our transit system. As many of you know, we recently rolled out a public safety pilot program at our Westlake MacArthur Park station that our customers tell us improved their sense of safety at that station. Now, we are launching a new pilot at North Hollywood with the goal to achieve positive outcomes by ensuring that our system is used for the purpose of travel by improving fare compliance.
Fare evasion is a violation of our Code of Conduct and is subject to a citation or removal from the system. Everyone is required to TAP to get INTO the rail system, and we are working on ramping up compliance to that. So, beginning Tuesday, May 28 we’re launching a pilot program at the North Hollywood B Line station fare gates to see if requiring people to also tap OUT would help confirm that valid fare was paid. . . .
