Cubic Transportation Systems to join Ventra
partners Regional Transportation Authority, Chicago Transit
Authority, Metra and Pace in showing appreciation for Chicagoland
riders
Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS), a business unit of Cubic
Corporation (NYSE: CUB), today announced its support for National
Dump the Pump Day on June 15 through its partnership with Chicago’s
regional transit agencies – Regional Transportation Authority
(RTA), Chicago Transit Authority, Metra and Pace. The 12th annual
event, led by the American Public Transportation Association,
commemorates the usage of public transportation as a great
cost-effective alternative to driving.
To thank transit riders of Chicagoland, the developer of the
Ventra™ fare payment system will sponsor complimentary “Coffee from
Cubic” with a free cup of coffee to anyone who shows a Ventra card,
the Ventra mobile app or a Metra ticket, while supplies last.
“Coffee from Cubic” will be available at various locations,
including Northwest Transportation Center in Schaumburg, CTA
Roosevelt Station, and near Ogilvie Transportation Center and Union
Station.
“We know that access to convenient public transportation is a
major factor in attracting businesses and employees,” said Leanne
Redden, RTA executive director. “More than 60 percent of those who
work in and around Chicago’s Loop take public transit to get there.
On Dump the Pump Day, we celebrate our regular riders as well as
those who don’t usually ride our system, asking them all to ‘dump
the gas pump’ for at least one day.”
“By partnering with RTA, CTA, Pace and Metra, we want to show
our commitment to the region and our dedication to public
transportation,” said Sushil Rajendran, vice president and general
manager, Central Region, Americas, for CTS. “The Ventra system is
one of the most advanced public transportation systems in the
world, and we encourage drivers to experience the convenience by
giving up their cars for the day.”
Launched in 2013, Ventra supports both account-based processing
through an agency-issued contactless smart card, as well as open
payment, which enables customers to “pay as they go” with bank
cards they already have, or through mobile payment platforms such
as Apple Pay, Android Pay or Samsung Pay.
