Join our Working Groups
The STA develops, agrees and ensures the publication of the functional and technical requirements for smart ticketing interoperability. It works with all relevant stakeholders to establish trust schemes, specifications and certification as trust is key for sustainable solutions in integrated mobility ticketing beyond borders. This we do in our Working Groups, for example on the topic of Account-Based Ticketing or Certification, where every STA member organisation can participate - by sending selected experts.
Those experts meet regularly (virtually or on site) to develop common standards and joint papers.
Working Stream National Digital Ticketing
Our newest Working Stream focuses on national digital ticketing, highlighting our dedication to addressing emerging trends in the field. We aim to gather insights and perspectives through ongoing discussions and consultations on key topics. Are you passionate about shaping the future of digital ticketing? We welcome your participation!
Working Group ABT
Account Based Ticketing (ABT) allows passengers to use a single account to pay seamlessly across multiple transport modes. STA members are developing a unified vision for ABT to create a level playing field for public transport. The goal is to offer policymakers a reference model that prevents fragmented implementations of ABT across regions. The group is currently working on an interoperable ABT framework based on shared views.
Members interested in contributing to this group can reach out to our Technical Coordinator, Jaap de Bie.
Working Group Certification
Certification is crucial for maintaining high standards of quality and interoperability in the smart ticketing ecosystem.
This Working Group is dedicated to establishing a standardized approach to conformity certification, ensuring the technical equivalence of certifications across members. If you're interested in helping shape certification standards for the smart ticketing industry, we invite you to join.
For more information, contact the group secretary, Jean-Philippe Amiel.
Working Group Glossary
A common glossary is essential for ensuring that all stakeholders speak the same language, promoting clarity and collaboration in the industry. The Working Group Glossary has created a comprehensive guide to ensure consistent terminology across the public transport ticketing industry. This glossary helps experts avoid misinterpretation and offers newcomers a clear introduction to industry-specific terms. It even provides source references where needed. Interested in contributing to this valuable resource? Contact Anja Wehmeyer.
To become part of one of our working groups, your organisation has to become STA member.
