DART GoPass App gets a reboot with easy to use features from PayNearMe

Today, DART announced a partnership with PayNearMe®, a service of Handle Financial, that enables DART customers who use their popular GoPass app to pay for their DART, Trinity Metro, Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) and Trinity Railway Express (TRE) trips with cash at more than 8,000 locations across the U.S. Through the partnership, customers can pay with cash at any of the PayNearMe network retailers, including trusted brands such as 7-Eleven®, Family Dollar® and ACE Cash Express.

In 2013, the original transit payment app changed the way customers purchased transit passes on their smartphone with a credit or debit card. For customers who do not have credit or debit cards, a major new feature is the ability to load value to the GoPass app with cash at hundreds of DFW Metroplex area retail locations. Simply present the barcode on your phone, pay the cashier and you are on your way! You can locate a participating retailer in the PayNearMe network directly in the app.

"PayNearMe increases our ability to offer a simple and convenient way for our customers to load their GoPass app with cash," said Tina Morch-Pierre, Assistant Vice President. "With PayNearMe, we can now better serve our customers by providing them the ability to pay with cash at a convenient location near them."

The app also contains a GoPass Wallet that stores value that can be used to purchase tickets. The cost of a ticket purchased using the GoPass app is the same as a ticket purchased from a ticket vending machine or bus farebox and must be activated before boarding any bus or train. GoPass is free to download or update from the Google Play store or the Apple App Store.

"PayNearMe is proud to work with DART to offer this new cash payment option," said Mike Kaplan, Senior Vice President of Merchant Processing. "We feel strongly that cash-preferring customers should be able to participate in the electronic payments market and we're happy to provide them a convenient way to do so with DART GoPass."
