10-Year Fare Collection, TTC – Toronto, Canada
The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) selected CCG to support the development of a 10-Year Fare Collection Outlook. CCG worked with agency stakeholders to define a vision for the future of fare collection in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Thereafter, CCG worked with the TTC and Metrolinx to take a holistic look at TTC’s existing fare collection operations, including the regional PRESTO card system, incorporating peer and industry feedback, and identifying gaps in current solutions and agency needs. Armed with this information and CCG’s extensive experience designing, implementing, and operating complex technology solutions, CCG will deliver a comprehensive plan for delivering on that vision. The strategic plan will include technology, procurement, and operations strategies that define the “what, when and how” of activities over the next 10 years.
CCG is using its proven approach, built on the establishment of a project steering committee and facilitating collaborative workshops with key decision-makers across the various stakeholder organizations. This approach not only provides the broad perspective needed, but also establishes a model for collaboration, and creates project champions at the earliest stages of project definition and planning.
