PHOENIX, May 3, 1999. - Through an agreement with PNC Bank, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) recently installed Touch Technology International's (TTI) CardTouch system to support a smart card program for employees at its main administration facility in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Employees are using the card to access the toll road, gain entrance to the building and to make purchases in the cafeteria and at vending machines. The system uses a Gemplus hybrid card, which incorporates both contact and contactless chip technology. The program went live on March 5, 1999. "The use of the smart card in our administration building is very exciting," said Deborah Jubelirer, assistant director of marketing and a project manager for PTC's Electronic Toll Collection. "We will have the ability to integrate features of the technology and at the same time introduce Turnpike employees to smart card technology by allowing them to experience its uses and conveniences first hand."
