Background Smart card validators (SCVs) are used throughout the regional transit system for off-board fare payments made using Go-To cards. SCVs are primarily used on light rail and bus rapid transit (BRT), including A Line and C Line. Go-To card payments made using SCVs account for approximately 70% of rides taken on A and C Line. The Metro Transit departments Revenue Operations, BRT Projects, and Service Development agree that both the Orange Line and the D Line should also provide off-board fare payment based on the advantages off-board payment provides for BRT lines. Off-board fare payment collection is required to meet running times for bus rapid transit (BRT) Orange and D Lines. The current SCVs are provided by Cubic Transportation Systems and integrate with all other Go-To card payment technologies, including SCVs used at other BRT and rail platforms; TVMs used on rail platforms; validators used regular-route buses; and other sales and validation equipment used to read and recharge Go-To cards.

  • Chapter 10 Equity and Environmental Justice
    CHAPTER 10 EQUITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE Introduction An important consideration for the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan is its impact on all populations in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul region, particularly those who have been historically underrepresented in regional planning efforts, including communities of color, American Indians, low-income households, people with disabilities, and people with limited English proficiency. Past plans were required to adhere to federal requirements for environmental justice; this plan further responds to additional aspirations for equity set forth in Thrive MSP 2040. This section describes the plan's responses to both federal requirements and regional aspirations. Federal guidance for evaluating impacts is derived from Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as well as Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority and Low- income Populations. Under the executive order, transportation plans and programs (1) must provide a fully inclusive public outreach program; (2) should not disproportionately impact minority and low- income communities, and (3) must assure the receipt of benefits by minority and low-income populations. The TPP addresses these three principles and they were considered throughout the decision-making process. The analysis section of this chapter discusses these in more detail. These principles must also be considered in the project design and implementation phases for future specific projects. Regional guidance for pursuing equity is outlined in Thrive MSP 2040, the Metropolitan Development Guide required by Minn. Stat. 473.145. Thrive elevates equity to one of five fundamental outcomes of the regional vision. Equity connects all residents to opportunity and creates viable housing, transportation, and recreation options for people of all races, ethnicities, incomes, and abilities so that all communities share the opportunities and challenges of growth and change.
