The scope of fare technologies available in today's market is much broader than just a few years ago. In addition, the pace of deployment of new technologies has accelerated considerably. As a result, transit agencies are faced with many confusing choices when contemplating a new fare system. The wrong choice could leave the agency with equipment that becomes obsolete in only a few years or that is costly to maintain and operate. The focus of this workshop resource paper is to examine evolving fare technologies and to begin the thought process that will lead to strategies for implementation of new fare equipment.
