Key planning and design will result in optimized systems and integrations

Key 2.0  Vision and System Modernization —
Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA)

SEPTA hired CCG to guide the agency through the planning and procurement to replace the Key 1.0 electronic fare collection system, first launched in 2016.  The purpose of this procurement, internally known as Key 2.0, is to improve the system functionality delivered to both customers and agency stakeholders, while also addressing some end-of-life components. Clevor Consulting Group (CCG) developed a comprehensive Concept of Operations (ConOps) for SEPTA. This document outlined a high-level technology, procurement, and operations strategy for the new system. Thereafter, CCG led the development of the technical requirements and RFP to replace the existing system and streamline integrations. In supporting this effort, CCG worked side-by-side with SEPTA’s technical, procurement and legal staff to develop a clear and comprehensive fare collection system RFP.
