If the Provider's drivers record pass usage manually, the Provider shall ensure <br />that its drivers do not record a transfer on a Convenience/Prepaid Fare card as a <br />Convenience/Prepaid Fare ride. Rather it shall be recorded and classified as a <br />transfer. <br />6. Reimbursement for Convenience/Prepaid Fare Eligible Rides. Subject to the <br />limitations and reductions provided for in this section and the regional transfer reciprocity <br />provisions of section 5, the Provider shall be reimbursed for the reimbursement value of all <br />Convenience/Prepaid Fare eligible rides provided during a billing cycle. <br />a. Pre-sold Portion Limitation. The Provider may request reimbursement only for <br />the pre-sold portion of a fare. For example, a customer boarding a peak express bus with <br />a low denomination 31-day pass must supplement the ride with cash in the farebox. In <br />such case, the Provider shall retain the cash amount and may only request reimbursement <br />based on the pre-sold portion of the fare. <br />b. Reimbursement Reductions. The following percentage reductions will be <br />applied to the gross amount of reimbursement to the Provider for Convenience/Prepaid <br />Fare eligible rides provided during the billing cycle: <br />1.81 % for commissions paid to outlets who sell Convenience/Prepaid <br />Fares, and <br />for any provider not involved in Motor Vehicle Excise Tax revenue <br />sharing through the Regional Transit Fund, an additional 5.31 <br />administrative fee. <br />7. Data Collection. The Provider shall maintain an adequate level of data collection on <br />which to base any application for reimbursement from Convenience/Prepaid Fare revenue. <br />a. Electronic Farebox Data Collection. If the Provider can use information from <br />the farebox software, it is the most accurate level of detail and shall be used by the <br />Provider for data collection. With the implementation of the "Go-To Card" (or smart <br />card) a similar level of information detail is available to regional providers through the <br />smart card database administered by Metro Transit. Such information is available <br />through secured channels to the Provider and shall be used by the Provider for data <br />collection. <br />b. Manual Farebox Data Collection. If the Provider is unable to utilize the GFI <br />data system in order to collect the necessary data because of the Provider's software <br />limitations, it may collect the data using a manual procedure. <br />In order to request Convenience/Prepaid Fare reimbursement, the Provider will collect from <br />farebox and smart card data, the fareset (fare in effect), ride type, Convenience/Prepaid Fare <br />value and Convenience/Prepaid Fare type. <br />8. Reporting of Data and Requests for Reimbursement. Attached as Exhibit B is an <br />"Electronic Convenience Fares Reimbursement Tracking Form" and a "Manual Convenience <br />
