The Denver Post reports that RTD ticketed a record number of light rail fare evaders last year as the result of a crackdown.
The transit agency’s enforcement officers issued violation notices to 7,178 people, up from 5,074 in 2008. In 2007, 3,174 citations were issued. A large number of those ticketed ignored the citations — and their attached court dates — which can result in a criminal conviction for theft and a night in jail, Denver court administrators say.
Of the total, 6,049 citations were issued in Denver County.
