Great initiative from DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) Increasing greenery in and around public transit stations makes urban areas more attractive and helps reduce the urban heat island effect. This is when the built environment absorbs heat causing temperatures to rise. Benefits of urban greenery: 🌆 Mitigates the urban heat island effect 🚉 Reduces risk of tracks buckling in high temperatures 🌷 Enhances visual appeal 🍃 Lowers noise pollution 🌳 Decreases air pollution 🐝 Increases biodiversity by providing food sources and habitats for bees and insects. Worldwide, there are examples of increased efforts to be greener and cleaner in stations and alongside transit routes. Green tracks are common in Europe, where grass or wildflowers grow between and alongside light rail and tram lines. Germany has approximately 300 miles of green tracks, with more planned. In hotter, drier climates, a different approach is needed. Dallas, with its banks of shade-giving trees, is a great example of using the natural environment to bring temperatures down. #UrbanGreenery #UrbanHeatIsland #ClimateAction #SustainabilityMatters #EnvironmentalSolutions #SustainableTransit #TransitGreening #GreenTracks #LiveGreenRideClean https://lnkd.in/eF3UtTWa

Salon des Maires et des Collectivités last week gave us an opportunity to spend time with our partner La Banque Postale. At the same event, one year ago, we announced our partnership to promote seamless regional mobility in France, and we’ve come a long way! Our combined expertise in ticketing and payments (through La Banque Postale's subsidiary eZyness ) has convinced new local authorities to adopt technology that works towards this goal. We’re proud to say that our systems are now operational on more than 15 networks. Our conversations at #SMCL2025 were focused on our ambition to go further together by extending our partnership to electric charging stations with Voqa. Stay tuned for updates!⚡ In the picture 📷 (left to right): SERGE BAYARD, Ana Catalina Macaya Vargas, MAROUANE BENJENNA, Tarik DINANE #PublicTransport #Innovation #SustainableMobility #Partnership #KubaTeam

Growing ridership through groundbreaking mobility solutions... This is one of the themes of this year's California Transit Association's Fall Conference & Expo, and we're looking forward to a deep dive! We've lots of insights to share - lessons learned from working with 20+ transit agencies in the US to roll-out rider-friendly fare collection technology. Contactless EMV fare collection removes two of the barriers to riding transit: getting a ticket; and understanding the fare structure. When contactless open-loop payments are combined with fare capping, there's no waiting in line to buy a ticket, and the best available fare is guaranteed. But how do you get to destination contactless? Ask Kevin Corkery who will be in the Kuba booth in the foyer at the San Jose Convention Center! He'll be happy to share how Cal-ITP: California Integrated Travel Project's mobility marketplace is making it simple. Want to grab time for a chat?

“From the outset we had a vision for offering every member of our community a streamlined multi-modal experience using a single app,” says Scott Marr, General Manager of the Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Authority (MTTA). The agency achieved this goal by deploying GoPass®, powered by Kuba’s mobility platform. The app, developed in partnership with DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit), has an integration with RideCo On-Demand Transit, the most adopted cloud-based para-transit and micro-transit solution among the 10 largest cities in the US. Now MTTA riders can plan, book, and pay in the app, using whatever combination of fixed route, micro-transit, or para-transit services they want. Read more here → https://lnkd.in/eueU_iaJ
