Fare evasion on the D.C. Metro has been a significant issue leading to increased enforcement and ticketing by Metro Transit Police.
Ensuring that individuals with disabilities are not unjustly ticketed under the fare evasion policies is crucial for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. I hope the D.C. Metro has protocols to accommodate the program.
Metro Transit Police should be trained to recognize these accommodations and avoid ticketing individuals who are unable to comply with fare requirements due to disabilities.
