Details

Many transit systems have or plan to have exclusion policies that effectively ban violators from using the transit system for a period of time. There is limited information about how these policies are used and their efficacy. TRB hosted a webinar on Thursday, June 27, 2024 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern that discussed ways exclusion policies are implemented and used by transit agencies, the major issues and challenges of the policies, measuring effectiveness, and the impact on crime.
This webinar was based on TCRP Synthesis 173: Transit Exclusion Policies in Public Transportation Systems.
This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program.
The slides and recording are available.
