The agency partnered with INIT in 2021 for an account-based, contactless fare system with an order for fare validators, fare inspection devices, and more.
The proposed spending advances the CTA’s “Meeting the Moment: Transforming CTA’s Post-Pandemic Future” Action Plan.
When a transit agency offers fare capping and allows customers to pay as they go with their own contactless card or smart device — also called open loop payments — the benefits can multiply.
The new system will allow customers to see their transactions process in near real time, instead of the previous 72-hour wait to see new balances.
The national average hit Pinellas County residents nearly $4.40 per gallon.
The recommendations are expected to go to the North County Transit District Board and SANDAG Transportation Committee for consideration.
The agency will also introduce its Workforce Aid Pass, valid for the month of June.
Service on Link will also increase at the same time, with trains running every 20 minutes during the day until after the p.m. peak.
Developers will be able to add the info to existing apps or develop new products to bring the benefits to passengers.
