New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is seeking a behavioral expert to address the issue of record fare evasion. The MTA is willing to pay $1 million for a consultant to study why riders skip fares. The focus is shifting towards strategies beyond physical barriers and police presence to reduce fare evasion.
