Implementation of Advanced Technologies in Rural Transit Services

Project Description

The scope of the project is to implement an operational test that will integrate the Lone Star Debit Card technology used by the Texas Commission of Health and Human Services (HHS) with the Advanced Public Transportations Systems (APTS) technologies already in use by the Capital Area Rural Transportation System (CARTS). This project will integrate the Lone Star Debit Card technology with the card reader function and other APTS technologies in order to track coordinated human service agency ridership and generate reports required by the Texas Department of Transportation. The Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) will design the evaluation approach and program consistent with the performance measures. TTI will be available to review the work of the project team during testing and implementation.
