• Abstract:
  King County Metro Transit is the lead agency responsible for implementing the Central Puget Sound Regional Fare Coordination Project (RFC Project). The project features a smart card technology that will support and link the fare collection systems of the major transit agencies operating in the Puget Sound region. The RFC Project will consolidate literally hundreds of existing fare media in an effort to streamline the management of fare transactions and facilitate the cross-jurisdictional and multi-modal trip making of travelers in the Puget Sound region. All seven public transit agencies in the Central Puget Sound area are participating in the project, and on April 29, 2003 each of these agencies signed agreements to participate. These are: (1) King County Metro Transit, lead agency, (2) Community Transit, (3) Everett Transit, (4) Kitsap Transit, (5) Pierce Transit, (6) Sound Transit, and (7) Washington State Ferries. The Evaluation Strategy includes the background and the objectives of the evaluation, a description of the RFC system, the evaluation approach, discussion of the proposed evaluation tests, and an evaluation management plan, including estimated level of effort, management structure, schedule and deliverables.
