Expanding the Use of Transport Smartcards

Latest Developments and Future Potential

10th September 2008, London

The introduction of the Concessionary Travel Scheme in April 2008 has provided a significant boost to the use of Smartcards on public transport. This will be increased further in 2010 when London Oyster cards incorporate ITSO.

This conference is aimed at local authorities and transport operators helping them to understand the opportunities provided by the technology both now and in the future and to share best practice in scheme implementation.

Key issues to be discussed:

• Boosting the use of Smartcards through the Concessionary Travel Scheme
• Preparing for all cards to meet a standard ITSO specification from 2010
• An operator's view on Smartcards and the roll out of concessionary passes on cards
• Plans for the use of Smartcards at the 2012 Olympics
• Use Smartcards to cover local service
• Producing and managing local Smartcard schemes
• Smartcards for cashless payment
• Making the use of cashless Smartcards viable for smaller retailers
• Enhancing card security
• The latest developments in Smartcard technology
