Transport Ticketing Events

Clevor Consulting Group’s Anthony Johnson, Solutions Architect, led a great panel discussion on open architecture, featuring awesome speakers Thomas Schaich Jacqueline Diaz Sara J. Edney at #TTNAM24 

I had the privilege of attending the first annual Transport Ticketing North America conference in Chicago on June 17-18 hosted by Transport Ticketing Events. This event was an incredible opportunity to delve into themes of access and equity, modern fare payments, and the needs of underbanked and unbanked travelers. The discussions on the benefits of open architecture and open payments were particularly insightful. As an attendee, I was deeply impressed by several sessions. Daniela Carnevale Aubry, MBA, Deputy Chief Payments Officer at Metrolinx Payments, gave a comprehensive overview of the various payment methods PRESTO offers. Her emphasis on the "Customer First, Customer Now" mantra highlighted how offering diverse payment options leads to over 2.4 million transactions daily. Steve Brar, Chief Technology Officer at Metrolinx Payments, shared how PRESTO's open architecture provides flexibility and choice with vendors. Tom Prestia, Transport Systems Strategist at Translink, presented on RideLink and Translink's Mobility as a Service (MaaS) pilots, showcasing how different agencies are leveraging MaaS to either boost transit usage or manage the demands of a growing population. Key takeaways included the observation that underbanked and unbanked individuals who use transit bank cards for transit are more likely to continue using that payment method for non-transit purchases. Additionally, the cultural, political, and social differences between Canada and the USA were highlighted as significant factors in transit payment systems. I was also fortunate to connect with industry leaders like Angela Gibson, Crissy Ditmore and Houda Slaoui. It was an honor to be in your company, and I hope we can meet more often! Leaving the conference, I felt an immense sense of pride in the work we do at PRESTO. Hearing peers express their respect and admiration for our efforts and knowing they follow our work closely was incredibly rewarding. It reinforced the significance of our contributions to the transit industry. I came back to work with a renewed sense of purpose :). I highly recommend this conference to anyone in the transit ticketing space. It's a niche event perfectly tailored to our field, with exhibitors and vendors showcasing the latest and greatest technology trends. The next conference will be held in Chicago on June 24-25, and you can pre-register. Looking forward to the next one! #TransportTicketingNA #TransitPayments #MobilityAsAService #Networking #Innovation

Headline: TRANSIT IS GOOD Subheadline: Great couple days at Transport Ticketing Events first ever #TTNAM this week! It was encouraging to see so many discussions focused on how the collective "we" as an industry can help make it easier to take transit and provide value to our communities. Was awesome to catch up with peers from mobility providers and tech partners, as well as colleagues from Visa's NA mobility team! Looking forward to #TTNAM2 in 2025.

Really great to see such a heavy (and passionate) presence from California Public Transportation Agencies talking about Open Payments and Architecture (Hey There Gillian!) at Transport Ticketing Events in the Windy City this week. Saw and heard a lot of good people talking about a lot of good things happening in a very important area of technology that is crying for better ways to serve the public. It was also a perfect opportunity for me to satisfy my craving for a Cheezborger. Chips no fries. Coke no Pepsi. 🍔😋

That’s a wrap! The inaugural Transport Ticketing North America event in the wonderful windy city of #Chicago has come to an end. Great content and engagement and a sense of excitement and opportunity for the future of transit and what else can be achieved here. From multimodal pilots to addressing the unbanked through mobility, the possibilities seem endless. The principal themes were: 1. The customer (rider) must be at the heart of everything – but ownership across operators, authorities and tech providers needs to be managed carefully 2. Effective transit is a transformation enabler for equity and inclusivity – empowering both physical and social mobility 3. There is a huge appetite to deploy open payment across all scales of city and operators Looking forward to seeing see what comes out in #London this March and back in #Chicago next June with Transport Ticketing Events #customer #openpayment #transit #mobility #ttnam24

Transport Ticketing North America , Chigago June 17-18 Considering it was the first event in US dedicated entirely to the electronic fare payment services in public transport, was a great success: surprised to have seen so many public transport authorities and operators .
