Transport Ticketing North America 2026

Following a joint RFP process involving 10 Californian transportation agencies, MST selected Jawnt to deploy a fully reloadable open-loop bus pass with the potential to work on any agency system that accepts contactless open-loop transactions.

Unlike previous regional bus pass procurement that required agencies to operate under a single managed vendor structure, this approach allows each agency to procure a pass under its own contractual agreement, select the specifics it needs and self-brand if it wishes. By using a common set of standards, passengers could ultimately buy 'one card' that works across participating systems, creating interconnected independently managed fare solutions.
