Fresno Area Express Fare-Equity Analysis Assessment
As a follow-up to the recently completed FAX Fixed Route Restructuring Plan, we are pleased to announce the second part of the project, the FAX Fare Equity Analysis project.
A Fare Equity analysis is an assessment conducted by a transit provider, in this case, FAX to determine whether fare changes, including fare media types, increase or decrease fares, will result in a disparate impact upon Title VI-protected populations.
Such an analysis is required by the Federal Government for transit agencies receiving federal funding that are wanting to implement smart card technologies.
A smart card is a reusable card that is embedded with a “chip” that can be recharged with rides online, at the Ticket Vending Machine (TVM). Eventually, smart cards will be able to be recharged online as this functionality is forthcoming in a future release.
Cash and tokens will continue to be accepted at bus fare boxes and there are no plans to replace disposable fare media or passes in use today.

Fresno Area Express Fixed-Route System Restructure Study
Building upon the findings from the Fresno Clovis Metropolitan Area (FCMA) Public Transportation Strategic Service Evaluation Project from 2014, Fresno Area Express is considering implementing a significant number of service improvements developed during the FCMA effort.
The FAX Fixed-Route System Restructure Study took the initiatives from the FCMA before several large groups of transit stakeholders for their feedback and recommendations. The resulting findings are analyzed within the context of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Title VI Requirements and Guidelines to produce a series of recommendations to improve service levels of the FAX fixed-route transit system.
The recommendations are slated to be introduced into the FAX fixed-route transit system in the coming months.
