1. Confirm and quantify the market value of toll and transit micropayment functionality using a bankcard.
2. Demonstrate proof-of-concept system for bankcard micro payments.

The Port Authority and its partner agencies in the New York/ New Jersey region will monitor the prototype including the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, New York City Transit, New Jersey Transit, the New York State Thruway Authority, and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority.
