ADOP T FARE REST RUCT URING EFFECT IVE SEP T EMBER 1, 2014
RECOMMENDAT ION
A. Receive and f ile comments f rom th e pub lic h earing conducted b y th e Board of
Directors on Saturday, March 29, 2014;
B. Adopt Resolution in accordance with th e Calif ornia Environmental Q uality Act
(CEQ A) f inding th at th e purpose of th e Fare Restructuring P lan is to pay

C. Adopt f are restructuring plan (req uires 2/3 maj ority)
ISSUE
Metro f aces an operating def icit of $36M in two years. T h is def icit is proj ected to grow to
$225M in ten years. Metro' s Long Range T ransportation P lan and f ull f unding grant
agreements assume th at Metro is f inancially solvent to operate th e b us and rail system
as it expands. T o do th is, Metro must ach ieve a 33% f areb ox recovery ratio. Metro' s
current f areb ox recovery is only 25.8%.
Metro' s f are policies are incompatib le with current and f uture services. Metro' s current
b ase f are is $1.50 and does not include transf ers. T h is discourages riders with out a
pass f rom transf erring b ecause th ey are req uired to pay anoth er f ull f are at each
b oarding. As th e transit network continues to expand, th e ab ility to transf er on a single
f are will b enef it riders and allow greater connectivity.
T h e f are restructuring proposal currently under consideration is intended to address th e
def icit, as well as to improve connectivity f or Metro' s customers. A pub lic h earing on th e
f are restructuring proposal was h eld on March 29, 2014. Now th e Board must consider
th e results of th e pub lic h earing and, if desired af ter delib eration, approve th e f are
restructuring b y atwo-th irds maj ority.

whi ch shows that 98% of ri ders can complete thei r tri p wi thi n 90 mi nutes; therefore, the

Agencv Comparison -Los Angeles, Boston. Washington DC, and New Jersey
Objective: To illu strate dif f erences in f are stru ctu re and pricing that resu lt in Boston, DC and New Jersey maintaining
higher f arebox recovery ratios althou gh the minimu m base bu s f are is comparable to Metro' s $1.50 base f are
Sou rce: Cu rrent Metro f are stru ctu re, cu rrent f are schedu les f or MBTA, W MATA and NJ Transit per f are inf ormation
f rom each agency' s website
Su mmary: Althou gh the f ares f or these transit agencies appear to be comparable based on the minimu m bu s f are,
signif icant dif f erences af f ecting f arebox recovery are apparent when we look at the o~ ,erall f are stru ctu re,
sen~ ice statistics, and operating data. Details are provided in each section below.
ONE WAY FARE AND MONTHLY PASS COMPARISON FOR REGULAR RIDERS
Discu ssion of Modes of Transit Of f ered - Boston, DC and New Jersey all provide heavy rail or commu ter rail services that
dif f erences f rom the are distance based and hak e signif icantly higher single ride f ares and pass prices. In addition, Boston provides
other agencies f erty services, which none of the other agencies in this comparison of f er.
Distance Based Fares -All of these agencies have modes of transit that are priced based on the distance
tra~ ,eled. Metro has limited " distance-based" f ares on ex press bu s and Sileer Line only. These senrices are a
relatively small portion of systemwide ridership.
Premiu m Rail - Boston and DC have a heavy rail system, on which the f are charged is a higher premiu m over
regu lar bu s f ares. In addition, DC' s heavy rail system is distance-based.
6ctensive Pass Stru ctu re - Monthly passes of f ered by the other agencies vary in price based on the
modes/zones f or which they are valid f are media. For ex ample, Boston has a $48 bu s-only monthly pass, a
$70 bu s-and-local-rail pass, and variou s other passes valid on a specif ied mix of modes of treeel. By contrast,
Metro of f ers one pass valid on all modes with additional u pcharges f or ex press zones only.

Los Angeles, CA -Base f are is the same on all modes, ex cept f or additional zone charges on ex press bu s. Monthly passes are valid on
all modes, with ad~ tional zone charges f or ex press bu s.
Boston, MA -All local bu ses are of f ered at the $1.50 f are, with ex tra charges f or ex press bu s. Fare stru ctu re inclu des premiu m cost f or
local rail. Commu ter rail and f erry f ares are distance based. The monthly bu s pass with the minimu m price is valid on local bu ses only,
with higher priced bu s passes also ~ ralid on su bway, ex press bu s, and limited commu ter rail and f erry sen~ ices. Monthly local rail passes
are valid on local bu s and local rail.
Washington, DC -All local bu ses are of f ered at the $1.60 f are, with ex tra charges f or ex press bu s. Heayr rail f ares are distance based.
Monthly bu s pass is not valid on rail, nor is monthly rail pass valid on bu s.
New Jersey - Services are proHded statewide, as well as into New York City and Philadelphia. All f ares are distance based, ex cept Tight
rail sen~ ice which is a f lat f ee that caries depending on the line. Morrthly passes are generally wlid on ail modes, su bject to su f licierrt
zone u pcharges.
NOTE: While Boston, DC and New Jersey provide modes of travel that Metro does not provide, we noted that removing the modes of
travel not of f ered by Metro (commu ter rail and f erry) had no signif icant ef f ect on f arebox recovery rates. That is, if we isolate bu s, light
rail and heavy rail services, the f arebox recovery ratio f or the other agencies does not decrease.

Washington, DC - Students attending school within DC l imits are el igib l e for the reduced student/ youth
monthl y pass price of $30 for travel on al l modes within DC l imits onl y. There is no comparab l e pass for regul ar
riders. With a special el igib il ity card, K-12 students ride b uses free during specified hours and whil e school is
in session.
New Jersey - No discounted monthl y passes are offered for senior/ disab l ed or student/ youth riders. Col l ege
students attending participating school s get a 25% discount off the ful l monthl y pass price.
NOTE: To il l ustrate the effect on revenues and fareb ox recovery, we recal cul ated proj ected revenues as a
resul t of increasing discounted fares to the 50% rate offered b y other agencies. If discounted fares are raised,
we can l ower regul ar pass prices and stil l achieve a 29% fareb ox recovery rate in Phase 1. However, a
significant variation such as this from the proposed fare changes may require another pub l ic hearing
process See b el ow for detail s on how revenues and fareb ox recovery ratios wil l change if we increase the
discounted fares and passes to the rates offered b y other agencies.

Budget. While the total budget has increased signif icantly by over 40%, General Admin and Agency Oversight costs have
actually decreased f rom 3% to 1% of total expenditures. I n addition, this represents a total allocation to G&A of $117M
and $55M f or FY10 and FY15, respectively . This illustrates the cuts Metro has made to support f unctions in recent y ears.

FARE ENFORCEMENT INSPECTIONS AND JUVENILE CITATIONS
Fare inspections are being conducted on problematic stations/ lines to target where there is heavy fare
evasion. Per California Public Utilities Code Section 99580, only transit violation citations issued to
adults can be enforced as an administrative penalty by Metro's Transit Court. The statute prohibits
Metro from handling transit violations issued to minors. Therefore, Metro is required by law to refer all
transit violation citations issued to minors to Superior Court.
Fare inspections are conducted the same as far as adults and minors. However, LASD carries different
tick et book s. Adults receive transit court tick ets and minors receive notice to appear violations which go
to Superior Court.
As shown in the chart below,luveniles receive less than half of the citations when compared to adults.
In 2013 Juvenile mate and females received 31% of citations. Out of the total of all citations given in
2013, 13% were given to black j uveniles and 10% to Hispanic.
