"We're really excited about (U-Passes on the Valley Metro app)," Hoffman said.Īs part of the fare modernization project, the existing infrastructure on light rail platforms was replaced with over 150 new mobile fare readers. We are planning to reach out to Valley Metro to get the latest update," the spokesperson said in an email. There will be some logistics involved in going away from the U-pass cards currently in use. "If the app were to be ready now, we would test it out during the Summer for possible Fall implementation. There are also plans underway to integrate ASU's transit passes (ASU U-Pass) onto the Valley Metro app, according to Valley Metro and ASU Parking and Transit Services.Ī University spokesperson for Parking and Transit Services said they are aware of the app and that it has been discussed with Valley Metro for future implementation. "Some (light rail fare vendor) machines are a little bit older now," Hoffman said. The transition to mobile fare cards necessitated an overhaul of the existing infrastructure, which was originally installed in 2008 when the light rail began operating. "We're expanding the ways that people can use our system." "We knew that giving people another convenient, easy option was going to be useful for them to pay to get on our services," Hoffman said.
