Transportation Council

The Secure Technology Alliance Transportation Council is focused on promoting the adoption of interoperable payment systems for transit, tolling, parking and evolving mobility services and technologies. The overall goal of the Transportation Council is to help accelerate the deployment of standards-based secure payment programs within the transportation industry by engaging in projects that support transportation organization implementation goals for integrated payment systems and mobility as a service.

Transportation Council projects support the advancement of transit fare collection systems and explore linkages between and integration among transit payment systems and programs in the tolling, mobility services and financial industries.
