Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

(1) Purpose. The MBTA establishes 703 CMR 5.00 to promote revenue collection and address issues related to the fraudulent or illegal evasion of fare payments on vehicles or ferries owned by or operated for the MBTA. 703 CMR 5.00 establishes a process by which violators may be issued a warning or noncriminal citation and assessed a fine proportionate to the nature of the offense.

(2) Scope. 703 CMR 5.00 establishes procedures, requirements, and penalties relating to the issuance of warnings and noncriminal citations for the unlawful evasion of fares on the MBTA. 703 CMR 5.00 regulates the collection of fines, fine amounts, penalties for failure to pay fines, options for alternatives to resolve fines, and appeals of noncriminal citations issued pursuant to M.G.L. c. 159, § 101 and 703 CMR 5.00.

(3) Effect. The headings of 703 CMR 5.00 are provided for ease of reference only and should not be used to construe its provisions. A judicial determination that a provision of 703 CMR 5.00 is unenforceable does not affect another provision of 703 CMR 5.00, unless the provisions are integrally related and cannot be severed.
