2024 is almost a wrap! 🎉 But what have the UMOPF partners been up to this year? Let’s hit rewind and revisit some of the highlights and milestones that have driven progress in open-loop payments! 💳
📝 Implementation Roadmap – Part 1: At the start of the year, we introduced the first steps of our ‘Open-Loop Payment in Public Transport Implementation Roadmap’ to PTOs, PTAs, and industry stakeholders. This initial release focused on strategic vision and concept development, setting the stage for a comprehensive six-step approach.
🎁 What’s a new year without surprises? Roadmap Part 2 is coming! Though we’re keeping it under wraps for now! 😉
🌍 UMOPF on the move! We made some stops in: Karlsruhe 🇩🇪 for IT-TRANS 2024, Vancouver 🇨🇦 for UITP North America Forum 2024, and Tarragona 🇪🇸 for the XXI Jornada Técnica from the Observatorio Movilidad Metropolitana. Our sessions focused on positioning open-loop payments as the solution to today’s public transport challenges.
🤝 The Forum members gathered in London 🇬🇧 for internal discussions and strategic planning, and let’s just say, you won’t want to miss what’s coming next!
Next year, we’re prioritising collaboration with PTAs and PTOs to turn open-loop payment systems into a reality. Expect exciting updates, including:
🎙️ A podcast series covering everything open-loop.
🌐 Webinars and market dialogue events to explore PTO and PTA experiences, expectations, and challenges.
📢 And, of course, we’ll be at the UITP Summit in Hamburg 2025! Don’t miss your chance to meet us in person, share ideas, and jump on this exciting open-loop ride! 🚎💡
As we close the year, we wish everyone a joyful holiday season and a great start to 2025! 🎄
A special thank you to the Forum partners for an amazing open-loop journey. Let’s make the next year even more impactful!
