Request for Information (RFI) for SEPTA Key Customer Contact Center
Background and Purpose
By mid-2024, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), which operates the
fifth-largest transit system in the United States, plans to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to
procure an experienced and qualified contractor to design, develop, install, test, transition, operate, and
maintain a Customer Contact Center (CCC) to provide customer service in support of SEPTA’s “Key”
fare payment system program. The Contractor will be required to seamlessly transition the existing
contact center operation to a new operation with minimal customer disruption.
SEPTA Key is an electronic fare payment system that transit riders use to pay their fare as they board
SEPTA bus and rail services. More information about SEPTA’s Key system can be found at
https://www.septakey.org/. The contact center’s primary function is to support fare payment inquiries
via inbound calls and emails with a superior level of customer service for SEPTA riders and SEPTA
Key Customers.
SEPTA receives approximately 17,000 inbound calls and 1,000 emails monthly and is operational 52
weeks per year during the hours of 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM Eastern Time Monday through Friday, and
8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time on weekends and holidays.
Objectives
This Request for Information (RFI) is intended to solicit both the Contractor’s interest and ability to
operate the SEPTA Key Contact Center described above.
SEPTA envisions the RFP to include requirements for the Contractor to provide all staffing, facilities,
office space, computer or network equipment or services, and office supplies.
Questions for Contact Center Contractor:
• Please describe your company’s relevant services and if you may be interested in
proposing on SEPTAs Contact Center RFP expected to be released by the summer of
2024.
• Would your company be able to operate a contact center within 60 miles of SEPTA’s
headquarters? If not, what is the optimal distance, considering cost and scope, from SEPTA
headquarters at 1234 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107 for your company to operate a
contact center?
• Please describe any additional information relevant to this RFI which would be useful
for SEPTA to better understand how geographic location of a contact center to its client’s
facilities and operations impact price, the timely response to incoming inquiries, and the
quality of contact responses.
SEPTA will accept responses to this information request through April 30, 2024, 4:00pm EST. No
questions or clarifications from Contractors will be entertained by SEPTA for this request.
Please respond back to Diane McCarthy, Sr. Contract Administrator, at dmccarthy@septa.org.
