This Order amends sections 5, 7 and 9 of the Midland Metro (Penalty Fares) Act 1991.
The new subsection (2) inserted into section 5 confers power on the West Midlands Combined Authority (“the Executive”) to vary the level of penalty fare, the period in which the penalty fare is to be paid and permit a reduction to the level of the penalty fare if paid within the period stipulated.
The Executive, before making any changes, must consult with the Secretary of State for Transport and other consultees set out in the new subsection (4) being inserted into section 5.
The new subsection (5) requires the Executive to take account of the consultation responses before taking a decision on matters set out in the new subsection (2).
The new subsections (6) to (9) requires the Executive to publish a notice setting out the changes being made to the matters set out in the new subsection (2), and specified the content of the notice and publication requirements.
New subsection (1)(c) of section 7 requires penalty fare information, which is already posted at every Metro stop and in every Metro vehicle, to also be published on relevant websites.
Subsection (1) of section 9 is amended to take account of any changes, made by the Executive in accordance with the new power provided at section 5(2), to the period within which a penalty fare is to be paid.
