Defined engagements with clear deliverables and a fixed fee, so your agency knows what it will get, and when, before work starts.
We help public transit agencies plan, procure, and deliver fare payment modernization: open payments (EMV), account-based ticketing, automated fare collection, and the programs that carry them. Each service below can be taken on its own or combined with others as your program moves from readiness to rollout.
How we engage
- Fixed scope, fixed fee. Scope, timeline, and deliverables are agreed in a short proposal before work starts.
- Proven working templates. Every service comes with a tested set of working documents (workbooks, logs, checklists, and decision records) that your team keeps.
- Senior delivery. Engagements are led by Dries, on-site or remotely.
How our services fit together
Most fare modernization programs move through the same five stages: readiness, procurement, transition and setup, testing and go-live, and rollout to operations. Each High Street service is a self-contained, fixed-fee engagement, so you can start at whichever stage you’re in. Program governance and cost-and-milestone tracking run alongside every stage.
