The OSPT Alliance is shaping the Future of Transit Fare Collection.
The OSPT Alliance was formed to help the transit community move toward the next generation of secure, cost-effective, and flexible fare collection solutions based on an open standard. As part of this mission, the OSPT Alliance has developed the CIPURSE open standard for secure fare collection systems. Today, the OSPT Alliance is working with industry stakeholders around the world to shape the development and adoption of secure, standards-based fare collection technologies, applications, and services. Join today.
Who Should Participate
Open Standards benefit everyone and the OSPT Alliance is open to:
• Transit Operators: Standards-based solutions reduce operating costs, reduce risk, simplify migration to new solutions, preserve existing investments, and cost no more to implement.
• Transit Consultants and Integrators: With standards-based solutions, consultants can offer more cost-effective solutions to customers, gain opportunities to expand and enhance systems, help customers improve security, simplify deployments, and accelerate time to market for new solutions.
• Government Agencies: Standards-based technology solutions have proven to reduce operational costs over time while increasing security and enabling transit systems to keep pace with changing requirements.
• Solution providers: Software developers can develop a wider range of products and accelerate development with more re-usable code while increasing consistency.
• Manufacturers. Hardware, card and chip manufacturers can bring new products to market more quickly while offering customers a wider range of interoperable platforms with the security required for today's needs.
• Mobile industry: MNO's, TSM's, App developers and NFC solution developers can bring products and services to market with assurance of security and interoperability regardless of device hardware platform, mobile OS or application complexity.
