eAccess LLC, a subsidiary of Cubic Corporation, has announced it will deliver 1 million smart cards to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PATH) under a new three-year-contract.
“The eAccess Limited Use smart card allows transit riders who have been using paper magnetic tickets to switch to contactless technology,” comments Paul Orloff, director of marketing for eAccess for the Eastern region. “This will ensure a consistent and efficient experience for transit patrons by reducing the time they spend at fare gates.”
The majority of eAccess’ Limited Use contactless smart cards, which meet the ANSI 410 standard and are ISO/IEC 14443 compliant, will be delivered later this summer and sold through retail kiosks at various PATH stations.
