Z Pass Rider Trips

Z Pass is a web-based passive RFID card system used for tracking riders. It records card scans and includes time, date, latitude, and longitude with each scan. This system can accommodate trip building, which is used for better cardholder tracking and provides data used in Medicaid billing.

Z Pass Reports allows the export of a searchable CSV file containing all of the completed trips.

To access Z Pass Reports including Rider Trips, from the main menu click Reports, then go to Rider Tracking and click Z Pass Rider Trips.

Select Report Type	At this time, only Ridership reports are available which report on completed “Trips” for cardholders marked as a “Rider.”
Asset No	The asset associated with the cardholder’s trip. Leaving this field blank will return all assets.
Rider’s last Name	The cardholder’s last name that is associated with the trip. Leaving this field blank will return all Cardholders, regardless of name.
Date Range	Several pre-set date ranges are available to run the report. It is also possible to select a custom range after selecting “Custom” in the drop down.
Hide the header row on generated report	Checking this box will remove the first row of the CSV, which contains the header information for each column.
Generate Report	After selecting the report criteria, click the “Generate Report” button to automatically download the CSV file. This will be located in your default download folder.

Note: When running a report, it is only possible to see completed trips that occurred yesterday or prior to yesterday. The trip builder is initiated at the end of each day and processes the previous day’s events for reporting.

Ridership Report Example

Created: The Created column (number 1 above) value is a quick way to discern the trips and the method in which the trip builder built them. The values range from zero (0) to three (3) and are as follows:

Pickup Event Type	Drop off Event Type	Created Value
Standard	Standard	0
Created	Standard	1
Standard	Created	2
Created	Created	3

Ridership Defined

Ridership is the portion of Z Pass that automates the processes that are required for Federal, State, and Local Agency reporting. These reports can be used for Medicaid billing, help improve safety and increase efficiency.

Z Pass defines a trip as two events matching specific criteria. If an event cannot be paired with another event, it is labeled as an isolated event. These events are not included in the ridership reports until additional information is entered or events are created to match the automatically generated event.

Event Pairing Criteria

The following criteria is used when Z Pass pairs events:

Same Asset	The start and event are recorded on the same asset and no other asset has a scan from the same cardholder for the duration of the trip.
Min-Max Trip Distance and Time	Based on the thresholds in Ground Traffic Control, the minimum time and distance must be reached, but not to exceed the maximum.
Same Driver	The driver must be the same for both of the paired events.
Different Locations	The location for each event must be geographically different from each other.
Same Rider/Aide	Both events must have the same Cardholder RFID number.
