The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) and the City’s Department of Transportation Services (DTS) have awarded 511 Init a contract valued at more than US$30 million for the implementation of a smart card and mobile ticketing solution for use across TheBus and the Honolulu rail transit systems.

The project will be implemented in four phases over the next five years and includes outfitting all 550 of the TheBus agency’s fleet with proximity terminals, mobile data terminals and routers to facilitate the validation of smart cards and electronic tickets. Init will also equip HART’s rail stations with more than 100 ticket vending machines and nearly one-hundred and forty fare gates.

The new systems will be integrated with several third party systems; open application programming interfaces (API) will be available to external partners for managing devices and CAD/AVL information.

Init will provide the central software tool for processing and clearing of revenues providing HART with real time accurate revenue processing and enabling HART officials will be able to study trends and make service adjustments accordingly.
