Approximately 25% match – Less Favorable o Estimated number of data elements associated with each message o Definition of security level o Other characteristics (e.g. operation, timing and message routing parameters defined) • UTFS Adoption Cost reflects the additional cost that may be required by APTA to adopt the standard or specification, such as membership dues and application fees. This category does not represent the actual labor cost of implementation. o 0-$1000 – Very Favorable o $1001- $5,000 Favorable o $5,000 – $10,000 Somewhat Favorable o $10,000 and up – Less Favorable • UTFS Adoption Time represents an estimate of the time required to implement the UTFS changes in the relevant standard or specification, or to derive a UTFS derivative of the standard. Therefore it reflects the time necessary to navigate the approval process. This does not include the time APTA spends developing the changes to the specification: o 0-3 Months – Very Favorable o 6-9 Months – Favorable o 9-12 Months – Somewhat Favorable o 13 Months and up – Less Favorable • UTFS Effort Required aims to represent an estimate of the time and effort WP4 will require to adopt the standard or specification: o Approximate number of additional messages or message types that WP 4 needs to define and add to the standard o Estimated number of new data elements or fields that WP 4 needs to define and add to the standard o Approximate number of matching messages that needs to be further defined The following three additional weighting criteria were established to evaluate the standards and specifications: • Smart Card Based represents the degree the standards or the specifications can accommodate smart card data types and structure • Widely Implemented shows the degree the standard or specification is in use • Relevance to Transit represents the level of relevancy of the standard or specification to the transit industry. (Determined by the number of transit industry related data elements and message types supported). Page 76

Therefore, these three specifications are the best candidates for further analysis. That said, the other standards and specifications have some applicability to the UTFS efforts in various areas. The remainder of this section highlights these areas. ISO/IEC 8583 standard’s batch/file transfer mechanisms and the OFX’s general schema structure should also be considered for reference in APTA’s future standard or specification development. Although scored very favorable on both “Technical Compliance” and “UTFS Effort Required” categories, TransLink did not qualify for a ranking on the other two categories due to lack of response from ERG Transit Systems as yet. According to Figure 5-1, the ISO/IEC 8583 scored favorable only on the Technical Compliance category. This standard has been determined to be less favorable in terms of usability, based on the time, cost and effort required to adapt it to WP4 purposes. However, this standard could serve as an effective model for WP4, due specifically to its extended focus on the definition of batch and file transfer mechanisms. Although it has not been implemented, the ITSO specification is one of the specifications that scored as the most favorable in almost all categories per Exhibits 5-1 Page 77

Based on the analysis, ITSO, RIS PART 4 and ERG APTA Specifications are more<br />
favorable to adopt and more relevant to WP4 than all the other standards or<br />
specifications evaluated. Therefore, these three specifications are the best candidates for<br />
further analysis.<br />
That said, the other standards and specifications have some applicability to the UTFS<br />
efforts in various areas. The remainder <strong>of</strong> this section highlights these areas. ISO/IEC<br />
8583 standard’s batch/file transfer mechanisms and the OFX’s general schema structure<br />
should also be considered for reference in APTA’s future standard or specification<br />
development. Although scored very favorable on both “Technical Compliance” and<br />
“UTFS Effort Required” categories, TransLink did not qualify for a ranking on the other<br />
two categories due to lack <strong>of</strong> response from ERG Transit Systems as yet.<br />
According to Figure 5-1, the ISO/IEC 8583 scored favorable only on the Technical<br />
Compliance category. This standard has been determined to be less favorable in terms<br />
<strong>of</strong> usability, based on the time, cost and effort required to adapt it to WP4 purposes.<br />
However, this standard could serve as an effective model for WP4, due specifically to<br />
