geocaching? Would anyone even attempt to place a cache at a light rail stop?<br>
<br>
<font color="#6000bf"><span style='color:#6000BF'>Riders of Metro light rail
will get five days to ride the system for free. But when it comes to
vandalizing the trains, there are no freebies.<br>
<br>
"There will be zero tolerance," said Tom Simplot, chairman of the
Metro board. "The last thing we want is a graffiti-ridden,
garbage-strewn light rail system."<br>
<br>
The Metro board voted this week to adopt a zero-tolerance policy for
violations of its prohibited-conduct ordinance, which is effective in <st1:City
w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:City>, <st1:City w:st="on">Tempe</st1:City> and <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mesa</st1:place></st1:City>. The ordinance
prohibits vandalism, smoking, playing loud music, and other inconsiderate
behavior.<br>
<br>
Officials warn that first-time violators will be punished beginning on
opening day, Dec. 27, receiving fines of between $50 and $500. Some acts of
vandalism could be prosecuted criminally.<br>
<br>
Anyone who sees someone vandalizing a train should inform a Metro security
officer or use one of the call boxes on the train, officials said.<br>
<br>
"Call us," said Rick Simonetta, Metro CEO.</span></font><br>
