The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“MTA”) is seeking an expression of interest and product information from firms interested in participating in the Qualified Products List (“QPL”) Process during which the MTA shall identify the next generation of secure, accessible, and modern fare gates suitable for use for the MTA, with initial use intended in the New York City Transit (“NYCT”) public transportation system. The MTA intends to replace its legacy gates in the NYCT subway system, including the existing low turnstiles, and Automated Fare Access System Gates and Emergency Exit Gates with such next generation gates to meet the MTA’s goals for ensuring fare compliance and preventing fare evasion, enhancing accessibility, and improving the customer experience. Through this multi-phased QPL Process, the MTA will prequalify viable solutions as “Qualified Products” to establish an MTA QPL for its next generation of fare gates. Submittals for the QPL must include two forms: (i) – a standard-width gate (hereby called “Wide-Aisle Gate”, or “WAG”) and (ii) a fully ADA-accessible wide gate (hereby called “Accessible Wide-Aisle Gate”, or “AWAG”). WAG and AWAG shall collectively be referred to as “Gates”. Gates can be utilized in fare arrays consisting of two (2) or more gates or as stand-alone gates.
