Public transportation professionals can learn about the latest in information technology, traveler information, electronic payment systems, and other Intelligent Transportation Systems issues affecting public transportation at APTA’s Fare Collection Workshop and TransITech Conference, March 18-20 in Phoenix.

APTA holds the two related events concurrently to enable participants to attend sessions from either or both tracks for a single registration fee.

The Fare Collection Workshop specifically presents sessions on fare collection and enforcement, smartphone applications, equipment maintenance, fare structure concepts, money handling security, surveillance, and fare media standards. It also features a products and services showcase.

TransITech explores such topics as data policy guidelines, using data to support operations, asset management, sustainability, electronic payment systems, fraud, and cyber security.

These programs are designed specifically for transit and supplier/consultant personnel who are engaged in the design, procurement, and operation of fare collection methods, equipment, and technology; public transit information technology professionals; chief information officers, operations managers, and staff; software developers; and other public transit leaders.
