City Council approved expansion of the CATS fare collection system to an account-based open-payments design in April 2026, authorising amendments to existing contracts with Kuba and Genfare under a procurement waiver granted for continuity of service and security. This is a system-wide fare-collection contract covering CATS's full network — bus, paratransit and the LYNX Blue Line and CityLYNX Gold Line streetcar — not a rail-only scope; it is carried here because CATS's rail services (Blue Line light rail and Gold Line streetcar) are within scope.
