For those attending tomorrow, I also promise more Barcodes! You can take the nerd out of professional barcode distribution but you can't take barcode distribution out of the nerd.
Only sad the site I used didn't support Aztec.

Hey there transpo peeps, I'm at #APTAtech. LOTS of fare policy and payments on the agenda .
Looking forward to refreshing my "best practices" slides.
If you want to continue the conversation (or get a peak at those slides), let me know or stop by the Masabi booth!
RT @philritz If you switch to electric buses, but cut bus frequency and speed to manage costs, you’re going to increase pollution.
If the bus isn’t fast and frequent, you fail over into driving a car- more pollution and congestion
My first Vox story is a deep dive asking how transit can avoid a downward spiral.
Answer:
1️⃣ Focus on providing quality service that competes w/cars
2️⃣ Minimize distractions (including bus electrification and going fare-free)

"Fare Collection: How we pay for public transit is critical to securing its future."
Excited to contribute to Mass Transit magazine. There's a lot of cool stuff happening in fare collection.
I recommend a look at the back half, as I want to dig more into the "equity for who" questions. How we can best set policy to meet these goals and get political support to make them happen in a way that works for riders and agencies.
