AVTA and Local Law Enforcement Share Fare Evasion Enforcement Plans with Riders at OMP Transit Center

Lancaster – On Thursday, October 30, 2025, Antelope Valley Transit Authority management and representatives from local law enforcement agencies met at Owen Memorial Park Transit Center to hand-out flyers and answer questions about the agency’s plans to crack-down on fare evasion.

Fare evasion is theft. Disorderly rider behavior, prohibited activities, and illegal fare evasion are grounds for suspension of rider privileges. Public transportation is a privilege and a vital part of the wellbeing of the Antelope Valley community.

"Successful public transportation is built on trust and community responsibility,” said AVTA Board Chairman Marvin Crist. “Every fare that goes unpaid robs resources from vulnerable Valley residents such as seniors, veterans, and disabled riders. AVTA does not want to be forced to raise fares. We’re asking every passenger to help keep our transportation services strong by paying the appropriate fare for the service being used.”

AVTA is issuing an urgent call to action as bus fare evasion continues to rob vital funding from essential transit services.

Fare evasion is theft. In the current fiscal year alone, AVTA estimates it will lose approximately $1.2 million to unpaid fares on AVTA transit services. This is money that could have been invested in increased route frequencies, cleaner buses, enhanced security, route expansion, and greater service reliability for the Antelope Valley community.

“Every fare that goes unpaid robs resources from vulnerable Valley residents such as seniors, veterans, and disabled riders," said AVTA Board Chairman Marvin Crist. "Successful public transportation is built on trust and community responsibility. AVTA does not want to be forced to raise fares. We’re asking every passenger to help keep our transportation services strong by paying the appropriate fare for the service being used.”
