Full summary

This motion, introduced by Councilmember Adrin Nazarian and seconded by Katy Yaroslavsky on September 4, 2026, directs the city to explore and implement TAP-to-exit systems at Metro Rail and Bus Rapid Transit stations as a public safety initiative. TAP-to-exit systems require transit riders to use their TAP card or payment method to exit stations, creating a gated or controlled egress system. The motion ties this infrastructure to public safety concerns, suggesting that controlled exit points may deter fare evasion, reduce unauthorized access, or enhance security monitoring at transit facilities. The specific directives of the motion—which departments will oversee implementation, what timeline is envisioned, or what enforcement mechanisms are proposed—are not detailed in the brief activity record. The motion was immediately referred to the Transportation Committee on introduction, where it awaits substantive review and committee recommendation. Given the two-year expiration date of September 4, 2028, the file has time to move through the committee process, but as of the latest activity record, no hearings or further action has been scheduled. The file remains open and pending.
