SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

TRANServe provides service to over 

250,000 transit benefit participants 

employed by over 100 federal 

organizations nationwide. Since the 

program’s inception, TRANServe has 

distributed the qualified transportation 

fringe benefit to participating Federal 

employees via a paper voucher process. 

To that end, TRANServe has operated a 

highly sophisticated ordering, inventory 

and distribution program supported by 

a complex network of activities, such as 

statistical forecasting for nationwide 

distribution, multi-million dollar 

contract awards, support arrangements 

for travel and distribution, and an 

elaborate array of financial analysis for 

billing participating Federal agencies. In 

addition to a growing number of 

participants, many state and local 

transit authorities have transitioned, or 

are transitioning, to electronic fare 

media, compelling the shift from a 

paper based system (vouchers) to an 

electronic fare media structure. 

TRANServe has also experienced rising 

program costs related to inventory, 

travel, and infrastructure support, 

requiring that TRANServe adopt a new 

distribution method from paper to 

electronic fare media. As a result, 

TRANServe is implementing an efficient 

and effective electronic fare media 

transition to its participating transit 

benefit agencies, consistent with 

statutory requirements in 49 U.S.C. 327, 

Administrative Working Capital Fund; 

26 U.S.C. 132(f), Qualified 

Transportation Fringe; 31 U.S.C. 3302, 

Custodians of Money; Federal 

Employees Clean Air Incentives Act 

(Pub. L. 103–172); and Executive Order 

13150, Federal Workforce 

Transportation. To date, for instance, 

TRANServe has shifted to electronic 

fare media in specific areas in New 

York, parts of the National Capitol 

Region, and parts of the Southeast. 

TRANServe intends to implement 

electronic fare media across the United 

States within the eight identified 

TRANServe areas. The eight Geographic 

TRANServe Service Areas are 

segmented based on TRANServe 

participant population and natural 

Transit Authority boundaries. The eight 

TRANServe Geographic Service Areas 

are as follows:

Maryland, and Virginia.
