The Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA) has contracted Americaneagle.com to develop a next generation fare system.
The new solution will be powered by the mobile ticketing technology found in myCloudFare and will provide riders with a more mobile and modern transportation experience.
The fare collection system will be implemented for passengers using the bus, trolley and paratransit services. The system will include ticket vending machines, point of sale systems, Smart Cards, Smartmedia validators and mobile ticketing. The new system will allow riders to purchase and store tickets, pay for fares while boarding, manage trips, and more - all on their smartphones. Americaneagle.com will also implement a backend system that includes reporting and analytics for MATA's management team. The total budget for the contract is not to exceed $9,380,608.12, including option years.
"We are proud to partner with the Memphis Area Transit Authority on their new ticketing system to equip riders with a modern and robust solution for their transportation needs," said Americaneagle.com President Mike Svanascini. "At Americaneagle.com, we are dedicated to providing high quality ticketing solutions for all of our clients and we strive to meet and exceed MATA's expectations with this project."
Americaneagle.com says it has implemented the myCloudFare technology on multiple transit websites, online web portals and mobile ticketing/smart card solutions. Some of Americaneagle.com's transit clients include Chicago Area Transit Authority (CTA), Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (LYNX) and HMS Ferries, Inc.
