In January 1996 the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) began the implementation of an advanced bus pass (fare card media), or Smartcard, called the 'Passport,' on all Ventura County transit systems which incorporated a number of emerging technologies. This paper discusses the history of the VCTC 'Smart Passport' demonstration project, the problems encountered, the successes, some of the valuable lessons learned from its continuing operation and some possible future directions. This report reflects the views of the people and agencies who participated in the Ventura County Smart Passport project. |
