Cubic logoCubic‘s transportation systems business has won an $8 million contract from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority to replace its paper magnetic farecard vending machines with SmarTrip sales and reload devices.

The company said Monday it will convert at least 500 machines as WMATA seeks to completely modernize its fare system to the contactless smart card technology by 2016.

“We’re pleased to be part of WMATA’s transition to a paperless system, as well as having been so involved throughout the agency’s entire fare collection history,” said Matt Newsome, senior vice president and general manager of Cubic Transportation Systems for the Americas.

Cubic, which has delivered the original paper ticketing system as well as the initial SmarTrip upgrade for WMATA, will provide smart card readers, other hardware kits and related software for the region’s Metrorail lines.
