you head into work. good morning, pete. >> reporter: good morning to you guys. back in the newsroom and we did reach out to bart for the past few days to try to get some answers on exactly how they're cracking down on crime. something was reported extensively on today in the bay as far as issues at bart stations. here are the answers that they're giving us. when it comes to assaults and robberies we've seen a number of them at some of their east bay stations. they're saying they're going to deploy more officers to some of these hot spots. i know some of those hot spots i can remember are the san leandro and bay fare stations spot you're going to see more of an officer presence in that area. and they're looking to hire nor officers. they can't do so aggressively trying to fill 39 vacant pogsz. they want to do that over the next 18 months and some n some cases offering $10,000 hiring bonuses. another issue is fare evasion. in the latest numbers, the highest numbers that i'm seeing happened in february and march as far as overall incidents go. but the nibz numbers dip in may and jand want to point out that bart tells us that's about the time when bart police ramped up its voke e focus on the issue. so some of the numbers from may to june when it comes to overall fare evasion incidents is that it's down 20% compared to previous months and in that number have you kielttations which are down nearly 30%. bart says fare evasion incidents in august unfortunately doubled those june numbers and as far as the problem of fare evasion at bart, it cause the bart system overall $25 million annually. we're live at the walnut creek bart station, pete suratos for today in the bay. thank you very much. 6:38 right now. speaking of bart, got some delays through the this morning. >>
