City of Tucson, Innovative Contactless Mobility Systems for Transit

The project will upgrade the existing fare payment systems to allow riders to use mobile pay, tap, and go with cards; install automated wheelchair securement systems to improve the mobility, confidence, and independence of non-ambulatory riders; and design contactless services that will help riders feel confident, safe, and mitigate driver exposure.
