MILAN, Italy and FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Dec. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Conduent Transportation, a global provider of smart mobility technology solutions and business unit of Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), today announced that Azienda Veneziana della Mobilità (AVM), the Municipality of Venice’s public mobility company, has selected Conduent Transportation and Elavon, as well as Visa, to provide a convenient EMV (Europay, Mastercard and Visa) payment system across its public transportation network.

This technology enhancement will allow riders to pay with contactless credit and debit cards, offering easier access to AVM’s local public transport service in the metropolitan area of Venice and the integrated mobility services in the urban area. Implementation will begin in 2023.

AVM took an innovative approach in selecting the project’s partners, each bringing their expertise and capabilities to the collaboration:

  • Conduent and Elavon, a global payments company, formed a business collaboration to support this project.
  • Conduent will deliver the end-to-end technical infrastructure, including 1,900 validators, to enable contactless payments on the Venice transportation network.
  • Elavon will provide the acquiring service, handling the end-to-end process for credit and debit card payments.

The Conduent system will also enable travelers to use NFC-enabled devices such as smartphones and smartwatches with digital wallets. Fares will be calculated and optimized to the best fare for customers.

The Venice transport network includes a fleet of 149 vessels (water buses, speedboats, motorboats and ferries), more than 150 wharfs, 540 buses, 20 trams on two lines and two people movers. Approximately 100-120 million passengers travel on the Venice public transport network every year.
