This report explores in detail the recent past and emerging future of fare enforcement on transit systems. It includes definitions of fare evasion used by transit agencies across the United States; describes the methods transit agencies use to calculate fare evasion rates; describes how transit properties deter and manage fare evasion; and includes the penalties for fare evasion. The final report should assist transit agencies to better understand and communicate the methods used to calculate fare evasion and its costs, the implications of fare evasion, and the effectiveness and impact of fare evasion policies. This research effort involved three core activities: a review of the existing literature (which included documents from and studies of U.S. and Canadian transit agencies, as well as agencies elsewhere in the world), phone surveys conducted with 18 North American transit agencies, and follow-up communications with those transit agencies to develop in-depth case studies on their approaches for measuring and managing fare evasion.
