In July 2025, we released A Metro Worth Paying For. This report documented LA Metro's abandonment of fare enforcement, and pitched our proposal for how Metro leadership could reverse course. We didn't know as much back then (for instance, how many fare checks were happening), so please see our later materials for a more up-to-date version of our messaging.
A Metro Worth Paying For marked the beginning of our campaign and since then, we have remained committed to adapting our research and messaging as we learn new information. As part of this commitment, we took the radical step of including a corrections log at the end.
