This report is bogus. Fare evaders are largely low-income or homeless people.

In this city, the cross-section of that population is people of color.

So, are you surprised that the data came out the way it did?

Fare evasion is always going to happen, for one reason or another. Is policing it a good use of resources?

I'd rather see transit police patrolling Metro cars and stations, and subsidized fare rates for the low-income. The trains and buses are going to run anyway, so why take more from people of lesser means.
