The California Integrated Travel Project: Building a Modern Transit Experience in California

July 8, 2021 | 1:00 pm ET

Today, there are hundreds of public transit providers in California—with no single system for collecting fares, verifying eligibility for fare discounts, or providing up-to-date vehicle arrival information to riders. This lack of uniformity creates barriers for new riders, complicates travel across different systems operating in a region, and increases expenses for individual transit providers.

The California Integrated Travel Project is an initiative to build a modern and consistent experience for travelers by enabling contactless payments, automating customer discounts, and standardizing information for easy multimodal trip planning. This webinar will showcase efforts by Cal-ITP to change the relationship of the State DOT with transit agencies to better serve Californians of all incomes, ages, and abilities through innovative procurement mechanisms.

Let’s Transform the Future Together.

Technology evolves faster than we can imagine the future. Rapidly evolving transportation innovations are being developed and deployed that promise to entirely reshape the way our transportation network operates, facilitating vast improvements to transportation safety and overall mobility. The promise of these innovations is apparent, but the deployment and application of these technologies is not without challenges. While technology disrupts the transportation ecosystem with new innovations and ideas, government, communities, private companies, and researchers must race to catch up to and contend with ideas never thought possible. How do we accelerate change and safely embrace new technology while promoting collaboration across industry to advance shared societal goals? Through nonprofits like the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America).

ITS America and its members have been at the center of these innovations, advocating for transformational technology to save lives, promote sustainability, and improve access to mobility.
