General Manager, PATCO Susan Squillace, Manager, Purchasing Jack Stief, Acting Police Chief, Public Safety Dawn Whiton, Administrative Coordinator The Corporate Secretary announced that pursuant to the By-Laws of this Authority, public notice of this meeting of the P ATCO Board of Directors has been given by posting proper notice in the lobby at One Port Center, and issuing proper notice to the public and news media. Chairman Simon called the meeting to order and asked that the Corporate Secretary call the roll. The Corporate Secretary then called the roll and announced that there was a quorum. Chairman Simon presided. Report of the General Manager John Rink, General Manager ofPATCO, stated that the report is submitted as it stands. Mr. Rink stated that there are two items he wanted to highlight. He stated that during PATCO's 22"d Annual Valentine Food Drive, PATCO customers and employees donated 350 pounds of food to the Food Bank of South Jersey. Mr. Rink also stated that PATCO's Satellite FREEDOM Card Service Center has a satellite center at Broadway and now opened a new center at Woodcrest Station, primarily to offer an additional site once a month to customers to wish to enroll in the Reduced Fare Program. He stated that during January, 104 customers came to the new satellite office and 125 customers in February. Mr. Rink stated that he wanted to update the Board on an incident which occurred this past Saturday evening. He started out by apologizing to the customers who were stranded on the train on the Ben Franklin Bridge. As a brief background, a P ATCO train was disabled on the Ben Franklin Bridge with a broken air pipe. He stated that PATCO employees attempted to repair the problem but did not succeed. Mr. Rink stated that as a consequence, another train was sent up and coupled to the disabled train. All passengers were taken from the train to the other train and taken on their way. He stated that this process took more than an hour, which he said was an hour too' long. He stated that he felt that P ATCO could have been more communicative with the passengers on the train as to what had happened and how it was going to be remedied. Mr. Rink stated that they now know what went wrong and the need to communicate with the passengers. With this knowledge, in the future, any type of incident will be communicated to the passengers and public promptly. He stated that PATCO Operations will now communicate with DRPA Public Safety anytime a train malfunctions on the Ben Franklin Bridge or in the subway tunnels. These new default procedures will allow police to respond and assist, prevent passengers from exiting cars, free the train operator to attend to mechanical issues and have police assist the passengers. These procedures will help to reinforce and retrain train operators on protocols. Commissioner Sasso inquired as to cause of the problem. Mr. Rink responded that there was a problem with the pipes that connect air brakes. There was a report that there was a bang and a hissing sound, apparently from the pipes bleeding air and subsequently the air pipe snapped. Mr. Rink stated that P ATCO annually has re-training with their train operators and supervisors. He said that the annual retraining process begins next week and they will go through in the training what transpired this past weekend to include lessons learned from this incident and what the operators should say and do with the passengers. Commissioner Sasso asked about the FREEDOM Card and about the Smart Card progress, with Commissioner Sasso's understanding that SEPTA is currently working with Xerox. Mr. Rink stated that our smart card process is one of the projects up for a vote later in the meeting. He said that this contract is with Cubic Transportation Systems to modify PATCO's equipment for the next generation of Smart Card. Kathy Imperatore, who is PATCO's Director of Fare Collection, is in contact with SEPTA and their proposals that they have put out. This concluded the Report of the General Manager. Chairman Simon thanked Mr. Rink for promptly addressing and reporting on the disabled train incident. On motion duly made and seconded, the Report of the General Manager was approved.

  • The Electronification of Transit Fare Payments
    The Electronification of Transit Fare Payments: A Look at the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority’s New Payment Technologies Project Philip Keitel* April 2009 Summary: Over the past decade many of the nation’s largest public transit providers have gone from fare-payment systems based on cash and coin to more modern electronic systems that implement payment cards, including agency-issued prepaid cards, credit cards, and debit cards. On September 16, 2008, the Payment Cards Center of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia hosted a workshop to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) as it attempts to redesign its transit-fare payment system to accept payment cards. Jerry Kane, manager of SEPTA’s New Payment Technologies Project, led the workshop. This paper summarizes Kane’s presentation and the ensuing discussion. In addition, this paper offers some thoughts on why the modernization of transit-fare payment systems has begun around the country; what obstacles still stand in the way of using credit, debit, and prepaid cards to pay fares; and what this movement means for consumer payments generally. * Payment Cards Center, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Ten Independence Mall, Philadelphia, PA 19106. E-mail: [email protected]. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of this Reserve Bank or of the Federal Reserve System. I. Introduction In just over a decade more than half of the nation‟s largest public transit agencies have modernized or begun projects to modernize their transit fare payment systems, all with a focus on implementing electronic payments based on the use of contactless cards.1 As a result, contactless payment cards (credit cards, debit cards, or prepaid cards) can now be used, or will soon be able to be used, to pay for rides on public transportation in most major U.S.

Abstract Changing demographic, land use, and social characteristics are prompting transit agencies to rethink the traditional business model of operating in a fairly independent manner within their jurisdictional boundaries. As a result, the planning and implementation of regional fare programs ranging from simple interagency agreements to allow for free transfers between systems to complex multi-agency programs with a technology focus have increased in recent years.

  • Using Mass Transit in Major Cities
    Voya Health Savings and Spending Accounts Living today, planning for tomorrow Commuter Benefit Accounts - Transit Expenses The Voya Commuter Benefit Account for mass transit expenses is a great way to leverage pre-tax dollars to cover travel expenses to and from work. When you select this benefit option, you’ll use the Voya Health Savings and Spending Accounts debit card to purchase transportation passes or rides. It’s important you only use the Voya Health Savings and Spending Accounts debit card to purchase transit-related passes or rides, as the IRS does not allow you to reimburse yourself if you use other debit, credit, check or cash payments. For 2020, the mass transit contribution limit is $270 per month. Total contributions (consumer and employer) for a transit plan cannot exceed this contribution limit, per IRS regulations. In the event your account does not have adequate funds to cover the full amount of a transit-related expense, you may split the amount with another form of payment. Following are guidelines for use in several major metropolitan areas. Please check with your local transit provider for updates and more detailed information, or if your area is not listed below: New York Metro (MTA) Payment methods: Transit Vending Machines/Ticket Windows: ⎯ Use your Voya debit card at the transit provider vending machine. The amount of your purchase at the machine is deducted from your transit account balance. Please note the full amount of your purchase displayed on the machine will be deducted from your card. EasyPay Option: ⎯ Pay for your rides with your Voya debit card.
