TransSIGHT is excited to announce that we will be hosting a panel discussion at Transport Ticketing North America (TTNA) 2026, one of the premier forums for transit agencies, operators, consultants, and technology providers working to advance fare collection, payments, and mobility across North America.

As the transit industry continues to embrace account-based ticketing, open payments, integrated mobility platforms, and data-driven decision making, the need for collaboration and knowledge sharing has never been greater. Our panel will bring together a diverse group of industry leaders to explore how agencies can transform data into actionable insights and deliver better outcomes for both riders and transit organizations.

The session will focus on the growing intersection of fare collection, analytics, and system integration, highlighting how agencies are leveraging data to improve planning, operations, and the customer experience.

The discussion is expected to feature a mix of agency, planning, and industry perspectives, creating an opportunity for attendees to hear both strategic and practical viewpoints from organizations navigating today's rapidly evolving transit landscape.

Topics will include:

• The role of data in shaping transit planning and operational decision making
• How system integration supports a more connected mobility ecosystem
• Lessons learned from modern fare collection and payment deployments
• Opportunities to improve the rider experience through better use of transit data
• The future of data-driven transit operations and regional mobility coordination

Through real-world examples and open dialogue, attendees will gain valuable insights into how agencies are approaching these challenges and opportunities across North America.

The panel will draw upon experiences from agencies and organizations that have been at the forefront of transit technology, fare collection modernization, and system integration initiatives. Discussions will explore not only the technology itself, but also the organizational and operational considerations required to successfully implement and sustain these investments.

TransSIGHT will contribute perspectives gained through our work supporting agencies on complex transit technology initiatives, including fare collection programs, analytics platforms, and large-scale integration efforts. These experiences have demonstrated that successful outcomes require more than technology alone. They depend on bringing together the right people, processes, and partnerships.

Transport Ticketing North America provides a valuable forum for transit leaders, planners, technology providers, and innovators to exchange ideas, share lessons learned, and collectively advance the future of public transportation. By fostering open dialogue between agencies and industry partners, the event helps accelerate innovation while encouraging practical solutions to the challenges facing transit systems today.

TransSIGHT is proud to support that mission and to facilitate conversations that contribute to a smarter, more connected, and more rider-focused transportation ecosystem.
