The app is the result of a collaboration between INIT, TriMet, and moovel and uses Google Pay to complete transactions.
The Board of Directors chose Kelsey for his long demonstrated track record of success in prior settings as well as his work since coming to TriMet in 2015.
As part of a 10-year expansion plan, TriMet has added 512 new buses since 2012, reducing the average age of its fleet to about seven years.
Shelley Devine will temporarily lead TriMet while the Board finalizes its decision on a permanent GM.
Doug Kelsey joined the agency in 2015 and quickly improved the overall on-time performance of the transit system.
The ground-breaking development constitutes a history-making milestone for TriMet, moovel, the provider of the Hop Fastpass mobile app, and INIT Innovations in Transportation Inc.
The agency will use funds from a new statewide employee payroll tax to support two key priorities: a low-income fare program and bus service expansion.
He led the expansion of TriMet’s light rail system, which has become a national model for integrating land use and transportation planning, policy and development.
The plan offers riders greater social equity, and provides more cost-effective transport options for travel throughout the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area.
Hop Fastpass is a fully integrated open payments e-fare system that can accept regular contactless fare media (Hop cards) and will accept contactless credit or debit card payments.
