Integrated Transport and the Future of Smart Ticketing Roundtable

Smart ticketing – and the roll out of multi-modal, integrated systems – has been identified as a key priority by the Department for Transport. Whether through the Integrated National Transport Strategy (INTS), the delivery of Projects Coral and Oval (in the Midlands and South of England), or new bus and rail legislation to give Combined Authorities more control of their bus systems and to set up GBR, it is clear the policy and commercial landscapes around smart ticketing are rapidly changing.

What does that mean for the smart ticketing market? How can the industry shift to a new environment requiring greater collaboration between suppliers, and with combined authorities? And how do we ensure we are delivering technology that improves the passenger experience, supports transport authorities in protecting their revenue and creates more seamless journeys across modes?

This roundtable, at ITS UK’s headquarters in London, will look at exactly these issues, focusing on the opportunities and barriers to the roll out of smart ticketing:

• The What? (What the changing landscape means for the sector): The impact of bus franchising, creation of Great British Railways and devolution to combined authorities
• The Why? (Why are we doing this): Integration between modes, regions and schemes, improving the passenger experience, revenue protection, increasing uptake for public transport.
• The How? (How can the sector deliver smart ticketing): The shifting commercial environment as we move from single to modular supply chains and from closed to open loop systems, greater collaboration between suppliers.

This event will take place on Monday 3 November from 10am to 1pm, in London. Although in-person attendance is prefered, an option to join online will be available.
