BART is participating in a new study aimed at addressing racial equity in fare evasion as the transit agency struggles to stay afloat financially.
The Center for Policing Equity and the BART Office of the Independent Police Auditor will conduct the 18-month study, which will focus on the agency's current fare evasion enforcement policies that they say disproportionately target people of color.
