Foothill Transit fares[1] and Metrolink fare information[2] are the primary official sources for fare schedules and eligible discount programs for services stopping in Pomona.

Penalties & Enforcement

Fare compliance and accessibility enforcement are handled by each transit operator. The city of Pomona does not publish a universal municipal fine table for transit fares; enforcement, citation procedures, and penalties are set by the operating agency or applicable regional authority.

  • Enforcer: transit agency security, inspectors, or contracted fare enforcement officers; agency contact and procedures are on the operator pages cited above.[1]
  • Fine amounts: not specified on the cited pages for Pomona stops; see agency citation pages for exact amounts if listed.[1]
  • Escalation: first, repeat, and continuing offences procedures are determined by the agency and may include higher fines or administrative hearings; specific escalation rules are not specified on the cited fare pages.[2]
  • Non-monetary sanctions: administrative citations, boarding or service bans, referral to hearing officers or courts; specific remedies are agency-specific and may appear on enforcement pages rather than fare pages.
  • Inspections and complaints: file accessibility or fare-evasion complaints with the operator's customer service or security unit; contact details are on the operator sites cited above.[1]
  • Appeals and review: agencies typically provide an appeal or administrative hearing process; exact time limits and filing rules are not specified on the cited fare pages and must be confirmed on the operator enforcement or citation pages.
  • Defences and discretion: operators may allow reasonable excuse or provide exemptions for verified ADA paratransit riders or valid passes; documentation and permits are agency-determined.
If you receive a citation, contact the issuing agency immediately to learn appeal deadlines and process.
