Maybe just have people stationed here all the time whose job it is to wait outside and catch people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Groom, who says he's been riding the system for three years, says he sees people entering and leaving stations without paying \"every day -- constantly.

BART's ballpark estimate is $15 million to $25 million a year, the equivalent of 15,000 to 20,000 people pushing into stations without paying every weekday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The enforcement effort relies on the six new fare inspectors, who are tasked with checking patrons' Clipper cards or paper tickets. The inspectors, community service officers hired by the BART Police Department, carry hand-held fare readers that can tell whether tickets are valid. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their marching orders are to proceed from passenger to passenger throughout a car or on station platforms -- a measure to avoid targeting people based on their appearance -- and they wear body cameras to record their interactions with customers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was one glitch in the launch. Although the proof-of-payment ordinance took effect Jan. 1 and BART said inspectors would issue warnings for the first month of the new regime before issuing citations, the fare-reading devices didn't always work as expected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the inspectors were limited to issuing warnings. BART Police Deputy Chief Lance Haight said the inspection team handed out 1,300 courtesy notices or formal warnings in January and February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART's regular sworn officers also enforce the new proof-of- payment ordinance -- as well as the existing state law governing fare evasion. The agency says BART police issued 3,634 fare evasion citations in 2017, more than doubling the number handed out the previous year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How effective will a single team of fare inspectors be on a system that spans 110 miles with something like 420,000 people going in and out of its 46 stations every day?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haight said the team is designed for deterrence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The intent is that people, knowing that at any point along their ride they could be stopped and asked to show their ticket, this should be a discouragement for those who might otherwise fare evade,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What will happen if you can’t prove you’ve paid to get on a train?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first two offenses in any 12-month period will result in a non-criminal citation and fine of $75 for adults and $55 for minors. Adults who rack up a third offense in that 12-month period will face a possible criminal citation and a fine of as much as $250. Minors, who under state law may not be given a criminal citation for fare evasion, would face continued lower-level fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s fare-evasion ordinance also allows all minors and low-income adults to perform community service in lieu of paying the fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART's also trying other measures, like raising barriers around the paid areas of stations and improving video monitoring of fare gates.

BART's ballpark estimate is $15 million to $25 million a year, the equivalent of 15,000 to 20,000 people pushing into stations without paying every weekday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The enforcement effort relies on the six new fare inspectors, who are tasked with checking patrons' Clipper cards or paper tickets. The inspectors, community service officers hired by the BART Police Department, carry hand-held fare readers that can tell whether tickets are valid. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their marching orders are to proceed from passenger to passenger throughout a car or on station platforms -- a measure to avoid targeting people based on their appearance -- and they wear body cameras to record their interactions with customers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was one glitch in the launch. Although the proof-of-payment ordinance took effect Jan. 1 and BART said inspectors would issue warnings for the first month of the new regime before issuing citations, the fare-reading devices didn't always work as expected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the inspectors were limited to issuing warnings. BART Police Deputy Chief Lance Haight said the inspection team handed out 1,300 courtesy notices or formal warnings in January and February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART's regular sworn officers also enforce the new proof-of- payment ordinance -- as well as the existing state law governing fare evasion. The agency says BART police issued 3,634 fare evasion citations in 2017, more than doubling the number handed out the previous year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How effective will a single team of fare inspectors be on a system that spans 110 miles with something like 420,000 people going in and out of its 46 stations every day?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haight said the team is designed for deterrence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The intent is that people, knowing that at any point along their ride they could be stopped and asked to show their ticket, this should be a discouragement for those who might otherwise fare evade,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What will happen if you can’t prove you’ve paid to get on a train?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first two offenses in any 12-month period will result in a non-criminal citation and fine of $75 for adults and $55 for minors. Adults who rack up a third offense in that 12-month period will face a possible criminal citation and a fine of as much as $250. Minors, who under state law may not be given a criminal citation for fare evasion, would face continued lower-level fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s fare-evasion ordinance also allows all minors and low-income adults to perform community service in lieu of paying the fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART's also trying other measures, like raising barriers around the paid areas of stations and improving video monitoring of fare gates. The agency says it hopes that by spending about $1.8 million on such measures it can recover $8 million to $11 million in fare revenue.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The legal claim acknowledges that Tindle had been armed and had shot a second, unidentified man before Mateu ran to the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The other man who had been involved in the altercation with Mr. Tindle had been shot in the leg by Mr. Tindle and had disarmed Mr. Tindle of the handgun prior to Officer Mateu’s arrival,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4384682-180213-Tindle-Claim.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the claim\u003c/a> says. \"Claimants allege that Officer Mateu never saw a weapon or any object in either man's possession.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART Police Chief Carlos Rojas said at a press conference Wednesday that he wanted to \"dispel misinformation\" after portions of the video were \"surreptitiously recorded\" and posted to social media this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those portions of video were recorded when members of Tindle's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/02/12/mother-of-oakland-man-fatally-shot-by-bart-officer-demands-release-of-body-camera-video/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">family were shown\u003c/a> the video at the Oakland Police Department on Feb. 7. They were published Tuesday evening after a week of demands by Tindle's family for the video's release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He hears a couple gunshots, and within a minute, as everybody’s running into the station in a frenzy, he’s running into the gunfire,\" Rojas said. \"And what I call that is courage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rojas said he believes the video shows both men struggling for a gun as Mateu ran toward them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Did the officer see this? I don’t know. That will come out as part of the criminal investigation,\" Rojas said. \"But I can tell you that this is what the video shows.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said a later frame from the video shows the man wrestling with Tindle had nothing in his hands. After Mateu fired three shots into Tindle's back, a handgun can be seen on the ground, near both men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video includes three still images apparently meant to demonstrate the presence of a gun at the scene. In the first of those images, three seconds before Mateu opens fire, no gun is obvious. A handgun is plainly visible in images immediately after Mateu opens fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11651464\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-3.59.29-PM.png\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11651464 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-3.59.29-PM-800x466.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"466\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-3.59.29-PM-800x466.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-3.59.29-PM-160x93.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-3.59.29-PM-1020x595.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-3.59.29-PM-1920x1119.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-3.59.29-PM-1180x688.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-3.59.29-PM-960x560.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-3.59.29-PM-240x140.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-3.59.29-PM-375x219.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-3.59.29-PM-520x303.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still image created by BART showing two men struggling -- with apparent gun circled -- before a transit agency police officer opened fire Jan. 3. \u003ccite>(BART)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I know there’s a gun on the ground,\" civil rights attorney John Burris said after Wednesday's video release. \"I saw that.

An Oakland police spokeswoman said the Police Department will generally allow family members and their attorneys to watch body-camera videos that are not otherwise publicly released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We saw it with our own eyes -- that is not what happened,\" Banks said of Mateu's body-camera video. She said the video began with the officer running out of West Oakland Station and across the street, where the two men were fighting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He ran over with his gun drawn and he said, 'Stop fighting, stop fighting,' \" Banks said, adding that she did not hear the officer identify himself. \"My son, Sahleem Tindle, broke loose from the guy that he was fighting. He held up his hands. He was unarmed, and his back was turned to the police officer. And that police officer let out three rounds in his back.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris said the video should bolster a criminal investigation into the shooting. The Oakland Police Department and the Alameda County District Attorney's Office are charged with investigating the shooting for violations of criminal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can certainly see that a person was shot in the back three times by an officer, and it doesn’t appear that he has a gun or was in the process of using deadly force against anyone, including the police officer, at the time,\" Burris said. \"A gun is found nearby both men, but who possessed it, we don't know yet. And we don't know if the officer saw something other than what can be seen in the video.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banks, a longtime Bay Area artist, said Tindle often helped her set up for theatrical shows in San Francisco and was looking forward to starting a new job in Oakland.

He held up his hands. He was unarmed, and his back was turned to the police officer. And that police officer let out three rounds in his back.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris said the video should bolster a criminal investigation into the shooting. The Oakland Police Department and the Alameda County District Attorney's Office are charged with investigating the shooting for violations of criminal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can certainly see that a person was shot in the back three times by an officer, and it doesn’t appear that he has a gun or was in the process of using deadly force against anyone, including the police officer, at the time,\" Burris said. \"A gun is found nearby both men, but who possessed it, we don't know yet.

BART attributed that hiccup to a problem with trackside equipment, not with the cars themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC's approval applies only to the 10 cars involved in the test run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission's action has now prompted BART to prepare to put a train with those 10 approved cars into service in the coming days, agency spokeswoman Alicia Trost said in an email Thursday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART says Montreal-based manufacturer Bombardier has delivered another 10 cars, but the CPUC said that, \"given the experience on the first group of cars,\" it will require the next 10-car group to undergo a test run identical to the one conducted last week. Cars received in the future are expected to be subjected to a more streamlined approval process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART first asked the CPUC to grant a safety certification for the new cars on Oct. 30.

That caused the train to go into a safe mode and operate as if it were a three-car train instead of the 10-car train it actually was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so the trailing seven cars were essentially drones — the doors wouldn’t open and the train operator wasn’t able to control those cars,” BART spokesman Jim Allison said in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A separate hardware problem also prevented doors from opening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delays caused by those issues added to a long series of delays that have slowed introduction of the new fleet long past its planned late 2016 debut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART intends to buy 775 of the cars from Bombardier, at a total cost of about $2.6 billion, to replace its current fleet. The district also hopes to find the cash — perhaps in a regional bridge toll measure expected to go to voters in June — to buy an extra 300 or so cars — a number that would help it to ramp up transbay service and handle expected ridership demand on its Silicon Valley expansion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post was updated Thursday morning to include information attributed to a BART spokeswoman. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4354949-CPUC-Grants-Approval-for-BART-to-Operate-New-Cars\" notes=\"true\" text=\"true\" search=\"true\" sidebar=\"true\" pdf=\"true\" responsive=\"true\" page=\"1\"]\u003c/p>\n\n",

BART attributed that hiccup to a problem with trackside equipment, not with the cars themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC's approval applies only to the 10 cars involved in the test run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission's action has now prompted BART to prepare to put a train with those 10 approved cars into service in the coming days, agency spokeswoman Alicia Trost said in an email Thursday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART says Montreal-based manufacturer Bombardier has delivered another 10 cars, but the CPUC said that, \"given the experience on the first group of cars,\" it will require the next 10-car group to undergo a test run identical to the one conducted last week. Cars received in the future are expected to be subjected to a more streamlined approval process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART first asked the CPUC to grant a safety certification for the new cars on Oct. 30. But commission inspectors withheld the approval after the 10-car pilot train suffered \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/11/08/bart-faces-new-delay-in-rolling-out-fleet-of-the-future/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">two significant failures\u003c/a> during a test run in early November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, a system that was supposed to help the onboard control computer keep track of the train's length failed. That caused the train to go into a safe mode and operate as if it were a three-car train instead of the 10-car train it actually was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so the trailing seven cars were essentially drones — the doors wouldn’t open and the train operator wasn’t able to control those cars,” BART spokesman Jim Allison said in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A separate hardware problem also prevented doors from opening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delays caused by those issues added to a long series of delays that have slowed introduction of the new fleet long past its planned late 2016 debut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART intends to buy 775 of the cars from Bombardier, at a total cost of about $2.6 billion, to replace its current fleet. The district also hopes to find the cash — perhaps in a regional bridge toll measure expected to go to voters in June — to buy an extra 300 or so cars — a number that would help it to ramp up transbay service and handle expected ridership demand on its Silicon Valley expansion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post was updated Thursday morning to include information attributed to a BART spokeswoman. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The concourse features a side gate that swings open to stairs leading out of the station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every time I'm headed to or from a train there, I see people waltzing right through that \"emergency\" exit, thus avoiding paying for their ride. Folks of all descriptions do that with little apparent fear of being challenged (the station agent's booth is a good 100 feet from the gate), concern about their fellow patrons' opinions or any legal consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/12/BrekkeBARTFareChecks.mp3\" title=\"BART Launching Effort to Get Tough on Fare Cheaters\" program=KQED News\" image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BartColiseum.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This scene is repeated often enough -- perhaps as many as 15,000 or 20,000 times every weekday, at an annual cost BART has estimated at $15 million to $25 million -- that the agency has decided to try to do a better job of persuading riders that they should pay for the sometimes questionable privilege of boarding its trains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART is taking steps like erecting higher barriers at some station concourses, making them harder to jump. The district is also installing signage and floor decals informing riders they may have to provide proof of payment and warning them against fare evasion\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those are peripheral measures. The heart of the anti-fare-cheating effort is a proof-of-payment system that will require passengers to show a valid Clipper Card or ticket, on demand, when they're inside a station's fare gates or on a train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system, similar to those already in place on Muni and Caltrain and many other systems, will rely on a half-dozen inspectors, working in teams of at least two, to check fares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proof-of-payment rules require a non-biased approach to enforcement: Inspectors carrying card readers will be required to move through an entire car or down an entire platform, moving person to person without skipping anyone, to check fares. That protocol is designed to prevent targeting of individuals based on appearance, age or behavior. To ensure the protocol is followed, fare inspectors will wear body cameras to record their enforcement efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspectors will be BART Police Department employees, but not sworn officers. BART police are also empowered to demand proof of payment if officers have \"reasonable suspicion\" that someone has entered a station's paid area without paying or any time they approach an individual patron on suspicion of some other criminal act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What will happen if you can't prove you've paid to get on a train?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first two offenses in any 12-month period will result in a non-criminal citation and fine of $75 for adults and $55 for minors. Adults who rack up a third offense in that 12-month period will face a possible criminal citation and a fine of as much as $250. Minors, who under state law \u003ca href=\"https://usa.streetsblog.org/2017/03/08/why-cities-are-starting-to-decriminalize-fare-evasion/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">may not be given\u003c/a> a criminal citation for fare evasion, would face continued lower-level fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district's fare-evasion ordinance, which formally takes effect Jan., 1, also allows all minors and low-income adults to perform community service in lieu of paying the fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While BART police may start enforcing the ordinance on New Year's Day, agency spokesman Jim Allison said last week that the new inspectors were still undergoing training and \"are expected to begin their patrols in mid-January.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added there will be a grace period of at least two weeks during which inspectors will hand out warnings to those who can't produce proof of payment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One final note: How much difference will six fare inspectors make in a system that includes 45 stations and carries hundreds of thousands of people each weekday?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's too early to say, clearly. A BART board presentation suggested that fare inspections, along with measures like higher barriers and better video monitoring, could recover $8 million to $11 million a year -- a substantial and welcome sum to an agency that considered eliminating service hours this fiscal year because of an expected deficit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll have a better answer about how the system works in six months or so, when BART police are required to report on the program's initial results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11639371\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11639371\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Proof-of-payment decals at BART's North Berkeley station. \u003ccite>(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"update\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated Jan. 1, 2018, with BART statement that proof of payment inspections would begin in mid-January.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The district is also installing signage and floor decals informing riders they may have to provide proof of payment and warning them against fare evasion\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those are peripheral measures. The heart of the anti-fare-cheating effort is a proof-of-payment system that will require passengers to show a valid Clipper Card or ticket, on demand, when they're inside a station's fare gates or on a train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system, similar to those already in place on Muni and Caltrain and many other systems, will rely on a half-dozen inspectors, working in teams of at least two, to check fares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proof-of-payment rules require a non-biased approach to enforcement: Inspectors carrying card readers will be required to move through an entire car or down an entire platform, moving person to person without skipping anyone, to check fares. That protocol is designed to prevent targeting of individuals based on appearance, age or behavior. To ensure the protocol is followed, fare inspectors will wear body cameras to record their enforcement efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspectors will be BART Police Department employees, but not sworn officers. BART police are also empowered to demand proof of payment if officers have \"reasonable suspicion\" that someone has entered a station's paid area without paying or any time they approach an individual patron on suspicion of some other criminal act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What will happen if you can't prove you've paid to get on a train?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first two offenses in any 12-month period will result in a non-criminal citation and fine of $75 for adults and $55 for minors. Adults who rack up a third offense in that 12-month period will face a possible criminal citation and a fine of as much as $250. Minors, who under state law \u003ca href=\"https://usa.streetsblog.org/2017/03/08/why-cities-are-starting-to-decriminalize-fare-evasion/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">may not be given\u003c/a> a criminal citation for fare evasion, would face continued lower-level fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district's fare-evasion ordinance, which formally takes effect Jan., 1, also allows all minors and low-income adults to perform community service in lieu of paying the fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While BART police may start enforcing the ordinance on New Year's Day, agency spokesman Jim Allison said last week that the new inspectors were still undergoing training and \"are expected to begin their patrols in mid-January.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added there will be a grace period of at least two weeks during which inspectors will hand out warnings to those who can't produce proof of payment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One final note: How much difference will six fare inspectors make in a system that includes 45 stations and carries hundreds of thousands of people each weekday?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's too early to say, clearly. A BART board presentation suggested that fare inspections, along with measures like higher barriers and better video monitoring, could recover $8 million to $11 million a year -- a substantial and welcome sum to an agency that considered eliminating service hours this fiscal year because of an expected deficit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll have a better answer about how the system works in six months or so, when BART police are required to report on the program's initial results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11639371\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11639371\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Proof-of-payment decals at BART's North Berkeley station. \u003ccite>(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"update\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated Jan. 1, 2018, with BART statement that proof of payment inspections would begin in mid-January.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Last November, 71 percent of voters said yes to a sales tax measure that's projected to raise $120 billion for transportation over the next 40 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"L.A. has the worst traffic in the country, we've got the second-worst traffic in the country,\" Grubb said. \"We need to think big.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grubb said that the council, along with the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and other planning groups, are studying whether it will be feasible to put a funding measure before voters in the nine Bay Area counties in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One possibility, Grubb said, would be a regional bond measure, which would be paid for through a parcel tax on both commercial and residential property owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've got a lot of work to do between here and there to figure out what the final mechanism would be,\" Grubb said. \"But that is a way to raise that amount of funding in the Bay Area, for something between 75 and 100 billion dollars in transportation improvements.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question, Grubb said, is what the electorate would support. He said initial research shows that two-thirds of voters \"are willing to support even what sounds like an astounding amount of money for transportation -- that's how upset they are.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Bay Area Council and Silicon Valley Leadership Group say they're focusing first on passing Regional Measure 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm going to cite the baseball maxim, 'Don't lose sight of the game you're in and start thinking about tomorrow's game,' \" Carl Guardino, SVLG's president and CEO, said in an interview. \"The effort we're all in now is Regional Measure 3. So while we've been working together for nearly a year and a half on what we might do in 2020, for this year we are focused on what we absolutely must do in 2018.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The MTC will hold a workshop Wednesday to discuss how much of a bridge toll increase the measure will seek and how it might be phased in if voters approve it.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
