Bay Area Rapid Transit’s (BART) board approved the development of a trip verification technology (TVT) that would enable BART riders to enter a priority security screening line at San Francisco International Airport [SFO].
With TVT, airport-hired staff could use devices at a designated entry point to scan Clipper fare cards or QR codes on BART mobile applications to verify a rider used public transportation to get to the airport. If the trip is verified, the rider would then proceed to a priority line for Transportation Security Administration screening.
After the TVT software is developed, BART will create a pilot of the incentive program, although no timeline for that has been released, BART officials said in a press release.
