The award, for continuing improvements to the fare collection system the company designed and operates for Salt Lake City’s 5583 Utah Transit Authority (UTA), recognises the advances made in applying contactless payment technologies Vix Technology’s open-payment electronic fare collection platform Vix eO, adding new fare payment products such as Incomm’s UTA Farepay to the list of existing payment types.

The Vix eO system enables passengers to pay their fares not only with UTA-issued cards,  the Farepay prepaid card, but also with student and employee ID cards, bank-issued credit cards, Isis mobile wallet and Google wallets. The system is account-based and the back-office software manages passenger processing, including fare calculations, transfer rules, payment options as well as handling agency settlement and complex fare rules.
