Reported crimes at the North Hollywood Metro station, home of the Tap to Exit pilot program, have gone down roughly 40% since the policy started.
A Metro pilot program aimed at reducing fare evasion and boosting rider safety could soon be expanded across the transit system, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn announced Tuesday.Hahn, who chairs Metro 's Board of Directors, said she supports expanding the "Tap to Exit" policy, following promising results of the pilot program at the North Hollywood station.
The Tap to Exit policy requires that riders tap their fare cards again to exit the Metro rail station, providing another assurance that every rider is paying the fare, according to the transit agency. The Tap to Exit pilot program was originally launched in May.Metro staff are now assessing the results of the program, and it is expected that recommendations to expand Tap to Exit to other rail stations will be forthcoming.
