Paratransit: Cashless Payment Systems

Remove cash from the transaction.

Cash fares for essential paratransit transportation can be an unnecessary, additional barrier to service, especially for elderly or disabled riders. You can remove that barrier with a cashless payment system from MJM, the leader in stored-value card and Web-based technology. Increase access, enhance convenience, and ensure safety, for both your riders and drivers, by moving cash payments out of your vehicles. Participants can check their card balance and add value to their account over the phone, by mail, or online through a secure e-commerce application.

MJM can provide stored-value cards that can be used up to the available balance or number of trips or reusable cards that can be used as long as there is an available balance and the rider's account is in good standing. Customers can also use credit, debit, and other program cards in the vehicle to pay for the fare.

Benefits include:

Swipe-and-go convenience for riders. Remove the burden of cash payments, tickets, vouchers, coupons, and paperwork. No more collecting cash in the vehicle.

Less overhead. Laborious reconciliation procedures and security costs are reduced or eliminated.

Insurance against theft, fraud and misuse. Moving payments out of the vehicle gives you control over your cash stream, protecting you – as well as your riders and drivers – from theft, fraud, and accidental loss.

Increased safety for passengers and drivers. Drivers can focus on driving, not paperwork.
