Hop Fastpass® – TriMet (Portland, OR)
TriMet in Portland, Oregon has long been an international leader in transit innovation. Hop Fastpass® was a greenfield project, with requirements and design led by CCG’s key staff, including an account-based, open- and closed-loop payment system based on true open architecture. The regional system with three agencies in Oregon and Washington accepts MIFARE-based cards, contactless EMV bank cards, mobile wallets (e.g., Apple Pay, Google Pay), and the world’s first virtual NFC transit card within Google Pay. With a robust, integrated financial management system, clearing and settlement is seamless between all three agencies.
