Abstract:Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, Inc. was awarded a cost-shared research agreement to conduct a Feasibility Study and Pilot Program aiming to create a transportation system that utilizes existing smart card and near field communications (NFC) technology to integrate access to bus, rail, carsharing, bikesharing, secure bicycle parking, shuttles and vehicular parking. In doing so, the Project Team aimed to streamline the alternative commuting process, therefore increasing alternative transportation use and decreasing campus parking demand, traffic congestion, and associated greenhouse gas emissions. The Feasibility Study identified existing technology that could be utilized to create one ID card and associated account management system that allowed a cardholder to gain access to and in some instances pay for various transportation services. The Project Team is currently implementing the program with expected completion by the end of 2017.
