the Board of Commissioners.
3. Smart Card Media Fees
CAT is in the process of adding electronic fareboxes to its fixed-route buses. These fare-
boxes require the use of Smart Cards; which are plastic, pocket size cards with an embedded
chip for transferring fare information to and from the electronic farebox. In order to offset
the purchase and administrative cost for the Smart cards, a registration and replacement fee
will be charged. The cards are similar to a bus pass and will be required when purchasing a 7
day (weekly) or a 30 day (monthly) pass. The Smart Card initial cost of$2.00 will be borne
by all riders purchasing a pass. The registration fee is the cost for associating the card to the
owner in order to identify the owner and/or deactivate the card if lost or stolen. With the
registration the rider can ensure that the amount of funding remaining on the pass not be lost.
In order to issue a new card when lost or stolen a replacement fee of$2.00 will be charged.
The proposed cost for the replacement of the card for those that have registered their card is
$1.00. The Smart Card Media Fee schedule is as shown in Attachment"A."
4. This Schedule shall be effective November 1,2012.
