Description
This service package manages transit fare collection on–board transit vehicles and at transit stops using electronic means.

Data is processed, stored, and displayed on the transit vehicle and communicated as needed to the Transit Management Subsystem. Regional transit agencies participating in the ConnectCard fare management system are the Port Authority, Butler Transit, FACT, MMVTA, Westmoreland Transit, and WCTA (Freedom Transit, as of Jan 2016).
