The Open Transport Initiative

Developing, promoting & standardising Transport & Mobility Account Interoperability

The Open Transport Initiative was set-up to create and support the adoption of customer account data sharing (AKA “Smart Data”) across the transport & mobility sector.

Our role is to:

  • Further the adoption of shared & interoperable (smart) data across all providers and modes
  • Work with governments, local authorities, transport providers, Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platforms, software vendors and other organisations to support the use of Open Standards in data sharing
  • Design, publish and manage the ONLY Application Programme Interfaces (APIs) specifications for transport account interoperability

Described as “The Open Banking for Transport”.

In the same way that the Open Banking standard brought huge change and customer benefits to the Financial Services industry… we believe the that the adoption of Open and interoperable shared data frameworks and standards can do the same for the transport & mobility industry.
