Fare System Technology Review
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
This is an informational report for discussion.
BACKGROUND:
UTA was looking to maintain, upgrade and/or replace each of our four core Fare Technology systems independently. We put together a working group of key UTA stakeholders and went out for bid to identify a consultant who could help us take a comprehensive view of our entire Fare Technology System. After going through the procurement process the vendor Clevor Consulting Group was selected. In early 2021 they kicked off research within the industry and UTA, conducted a detailed gap analysis, and developed weighting criteria to ensure all voices were represented in the process. In July of 2021 Clevor presented their draft recommendations to UTA leadership. Since the time of their presentation the Board of Trustees has asked for additional supporting detail regarding how the Fare Systems interact with one another, the cost to collect fares and next steps in the process for determining UTA’s Fare Technology System moving forward.
DISCUSSION:
Today’s presentation will provide a high-level overview of each of the options UTA has related to our Mobile Ticketing, Fareboxes, Ticket Vending Machines, and Electronic Fare Collection backend system. The presentation will highlight the recommendation by Clevor Consulting for each of the Fare Systems as well as highlight the current and projected cost to collect fares by fare system type. The purpose of the conversation is for the Board of Trustees and members of our public to be aware of where UTA is in the process of upgrading or replacing our Fare Technology System.
