Course Description: Electronic Fare Payment (EFP) is the automated calculation, validation, collection, recording, and reporting of passenger fare payments using some form of electronic media for trips on a public transportation system. Implementation of Open Payment acceptance as part of an electronic fare payment (EFP) system will create a number of technical and operational impacts for the agency and its system integrator although these may, depending on the implementation approach applied, be offset by certain benefits that are unique to this form of fare payment.

The purpose of Module 12 is to provide an in-depth review of the key stakeholders within the bankcard industry as well as the standards and specifications, technologies, regulations and techniques associated with the procurement and implementation of Open Payments acceptance capability.
