  • TTF Smartcard Ticketing on Public Transport 2010
    Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) Position Paper Smartcard ticketing on public transport July 2010 Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) is a national, Member‐funded CEO forum, advocating the public policy interests of the 200 most prestigious corporations and institutions in the Australian tourism, transport, aviation & investment sectors. CONTENTS OVERVIEW 2 SMARTCARD TECHNOLOGY 3 ADVANTAGES OF SMARTCARD TICKETING 3 CHALLENGES FOR IMPLEMENTATION 6 SMARTCARD TICKETING IN AUSTRALIA 8 SMARTCARD TICKETING INTERNATIONALLY 10 INNOVATION IN SMARTCARD TECHNOLOGY 12 LOOKING AHEAD 14 CONCLUDING REMARKS 14 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: CAROLINE WILKIE NATIONAL MANAGER, AVIATION & TRANSPORT TOURISM & TRANSPORT FORUM (TTF) P | 02 9240 2000 E | [email protected] www.ttf.org.au In short: 1. Smartcard ticketing provides convenience for commuters and efficiency gains for transport service providers. 2. Smartcard systems have been introduced in Australian cities with varying degrees of success. 3. International experience suggests that successful implementation may take many years, and difficulties are commonplace. 4. Overall, the benefits of smartcard ticketing overwhelmingly outweigh the costs and challenges that may arise in implementation. Overview Smartcard technology is being implemented around the world as a substitute for cash transactions in various capacities. When applied to public transport fare collection, smartcards eliminate the need for commuters to queue for tickets and reduce the burden on transport providers to process fare transactions. In recent years, benefits such as decreased travel times and general convenience to commuters have driven a shift towards smartcard ticketing systems on public transport systems in Australia and around the world. As well as providing more efficient transport services to commuters, smartcard ticketing systems enable service providers and transit authorities to collect comprehensive data on the travel behaviour of commuters.

THE WEEK’S TOP RAIL AND TRANSIT NEWS (in chronological order): (SUN) The Lake Superior and Ishpeming Railroad suffered an on-duty employee fatality. Kim Nicholls, Age 51, was killed when he fell off the rear of the train he was switching and was then run over. Mr. Nicholls, who was from Marquette, MI, was a 12-year rail employee and had been in train service the last 2 years. (ffd: wire services) (MON) The Chicago Transit Authority announced that it waive until June 1 the $5 fee for purchasing its multi-use Chicago Card farecard. A CTA spokesman said that it was waiving the fee to encourage motorists to switch from driving the Dan Ryan Expressway, which will soon see 8 of its 14 lanes temporarily closed for a $600 million reconstruction project, the largest lane capacity reduction ever on a major Chicago highway. The spokesman added that Chicago Card users pay $1.75 to ride a bus or subway-elevated train and can transfer for a quarter. (ffd: Chicago Tribune) (MON) Filings at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission indicate that Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, possibly the world’s richest person, is now also the largest single stockholder of Canadian National.

  • 2017 Commuter Benefits Overview What Are Commuter Benefits?
    2017 Commuter Benefits Overview What are Commuter Benefits? Save money on your work-related commuter expenses through your employer's benefit. • The commuter benefit allows you to set aside money from your pay on a before- tax basis to pay for eligible costs associated with commuting to and from work. The great advantage is that you don't pay federal taxes on your expenses, thus lowering your taxable income. There are two types of benefits offered: • Transportation (transit) and Parking • You can participate in both at the same time if desired. There are multiple products you can utilize under each benefit: . Transportation: Voucher, standard passes, smart card and commuter check card pre-paid MasterCard for Transit . Parking: Pay the provider, parking checks, cash reimbursement and commuter check card pre-paid MasterCard Note: Mileage, tolls, fuel, carpooling, and business travel are not eligible for this program. What are the limits? • The 2016 Pre-tax limits for Transit is $255 and Parking is $255. In addition to your pre-tax contribution to the transit/parking account, you can set aside money on a post-tax basis to help fund your monthly transportation/parking costs. Note: Plan limits are subject to change at any time in the year. Popular Transit Products Reloadable Card Passes . Commuter Check Pre-Paid MasterCard . VENTRA . MTA/NYCT Annual Pass .
