A law changing how transport benefits are provided was supported by <strong>235 members of parliament<\/strong>. A transition period until <strong>July 1, 2028<\/strong> has been set for its implementation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote-light\"><p>\u201cThe document provides for a transition to targeted cash payments for transport benefits and the introduction of a unified automated fare payment accounting system,\u201d the <strong>Verkhovna Rada<\/strong> said in a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the <strong>Ministry for Communities and Territories Development<\/strong>, funds for travel will be credited to passengers\u2019 bank cards. To validate a journey, passengers will need to tap their card on a validator: the system will register the journey, and the transport operator will receive payment. Existing benefits will not be canceled or reduced; only the way they are provided will change.<\/p>\n<p>The costs of transporting eligible passengers will be shared among different budgets and government agencies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Travel for war veterans is expected to be paid for from the state budget.<\/li>\n<li>Funding for other categories of citizens will come from local budgets, depending on communities\u2019 financial capacity.<\/li>\n<li>Relevant government agencies will provide certain benefits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Preparatory steps must be completed during the transition period:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Develop regulations to support the new mechanism.<\/li>\n<li>Appoint operators for local fare payment accounting systems.<\/li>\n<li>Install equipment and connect it to the unified system.<\/li>\n<li>Register eligible passengers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to the <strong>Ministry<\/strong>, creating the unified automated system will require at least <strong>UAH 60 million<\/strong> over <strong>two years<\/strong>. The final amount will depend on the system\u2019s features.<\/p>\n<p>Tracking actual journeys made using benefits is expected to make reimbursements to transport operators more transparent.
