A white paper designed to show how the transit industry can best make use of NFC technology has been published by the Smart Card Alliance.

“One of the major challenges facing transit agencies today is how to capitalize on the ever-growing popularity of mobile phones with a solid mobile strategy,” said Craig Roberts from Utah Transit Authority, chair of the alliance’s transportation council and a launch partner for the Isis mobile wallet. “This white paper builds on the knowledge base developed in earlier white papers to foster a greater understanding of NFC technology, explain its role in the transit industry, and shed light on key issues facing the transit industry in developing a mobile strategy.”
