| Project Title: |
ORLANDO REGIONAL ALLIANCE FOR NEXT GENERATION ELECTRONIC PAYMENT SYSTEMS (ORANGES) |
|
| Project Status: | In Progress | |
| Project Type: |
Operational Test |
|
| Project Description: | This field operational test will evaluate the implementation of an integrated electronic payment system (EPS) for multiple transportation service providers. The centerpiece of ORANGES is a financial clearinghouse that will track financial transactions, and implement funding settlement and reconciliation using procedures agreed to by the participating agencies. The financial clearinghouse will be linked to a network of terminal devices enabling customers to replenish their accounts. Regional interoperability will be enabled by establishing interfaces with participating agencies' autonomous revenue collection systems. Services participating in the electronic payment system include a highway toll authority, a transit operator, and a city parking system. The three participating agencies will offer participating travelers integrated payment accounts using their own preferred payment media. |
