NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY:
New Fare Payment System Concept of Operations based on Open
Payment Standards for Acceptance; and,
Invitation to Attend Presentation and Invitation to Comment
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("MTA") has developed
a Concept of Operations ("ConOps") for a contactless fare payment
system based on open standards for the MTA's subway and bus
systems. The ConOps will directly lead to the design, procurement
and implementation of a new fare payment system. MTA is making the
ConOps available to the fare collection, technology,
telecommunications, system integration and payments industries to
stimulate discussion and obtain input to finalize a ConOps that
describes a system that is state-of-the-art, cost-effective and
technically and commercially feasible.
MTA is having an industry-outreach presentation to the vendor
community on May 10, 2011, 10am - 12pm. Attendance is limited to
persons employed by and/or representing firms that participate in
the fare collection, technology, telecommunications, system
integration or payments industries. Seating will be limited and no
more than two persons per firm will be permitted to attend. Advance
reservations are required.
Please visit www.nfpsindustryoutreach.com
to obtain a download of the ConOps or request a reservation for the
May 10 presentation.
