ONE SYSTEM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Encompassing rail, Dallas Streetcar, bus, paratransit and microtransit services, the system allows riders the flexibility to pay fares with NFC-enabled smartphones, third-party or agency-issued transit cards, and cEMV contactless bank cards \u2014all within DART\u2019s GoPass\u00ae platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

SAFER AND MORE EFFICIENT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new system delivers cost-efficiencies by reducing payment friction through PCI-compliant cEMV and NFC technologies, and also provides access to a growing innovation ecosystem. The system also makes public transport safer for riders and for transit workers through contactless payment options and retail cash reloads that reduce cash collection on buses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

GREATER FARE EQUITY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fare collection system allows riders to use the most convenient payment option for them, and also provides flexibility to implement advanced fare policies such as fare capping and distance-based fares. The secure and PCI-compliant GoPass\u00ae Tap card offers a fast and simple alternative to pay fares, offering riders pay-as-you-go products and guarantees they will get the best fare available to them based on their usage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A NEW APP TO SUPPORT MOBILITY AS A SERVICE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vix worked with DART and Unwire to deliver a mobile app that provides detailed trip planning, transit ticket purchases, account history, and booking and paying for microtransit services. The app also has deep linking into Uber and other mobility as a service (MaaS) options through trip plan result pages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
