Electronic fare payment systems (EFPS), such as smart cards, continue to be implemented in transit systems around the United States. This document synthesizes the current practice and describes the challenges and benefits of utilizing EFPS. This study focused on the use of EFPS for multimodal, multiagency environments. At the time of the study, only 40 agencies had deployed EFPS, and of those, only 27 are considered multiagency or multimodal. A survey was sent to these 27 systems with 23 of them responding (an 85% response rate). The report is supplemented by a literature review of different experiences and informative detailed case examples. Chapter present findings in the areas of industry overview; business and governance models; integrated fare policies and sales in a multimodal environment; procurement and deployment strategies; account-based fare payment systems; and fare data management and reporting.
