Transport Ticketing North America

Transport Ticketing North America

Transport Ticketing North America returns to Washington D.C. on 17 to 18 November 2026. Organised by Clarion Events, the two-day conference and exhibition brings together professionals from across the fare collection, smart ticketing and transit payments sector. The event is free to attend for transit operators, transit agencies and government representatives.

About the Event

Transport Ticketing North America is a dedicated forum for fare collection and ticketing professionals working in public transport across North America and beyond. It forms part of the broader Transport Ticketing Global series, which has been running for over 15 years out of London. The North American edition focuses specifically on the challenges and opportunities facing transit operators and agencies as they modernise fare systems and adopt new payment technologies.

The event combines a conference programme with a dedicated exhibition, alongside structured networking sessions designed to connect transit operators, government representatives, technology suppliers, consultants and payments providers.

The Conference

The conference programme covers a range of topics relevant to fare collection and transit payment modernisation. Recurring themes across the event include the implementation of open loop payments, account-based ticketing, transit data architecture, revenue protection and fraud, and the transition away from legacy infrastructure. Other areas addressed include transportation equity, on-demand mobility, procurement models, the role of artificial intelligence in transport, and cybersecurity in fare collection.

The Exhibition

Alongside the conference, an exhibition floor provides attendees with the opportunity to meet ticketing and mobility technology suppliers. The exhibition is focused exclusively on fare collection and smart ticketing solutions, rather than forming part of a broader transport or technology expo.

Who Attends

The event draws professionals from transit agencies, transit operators, federal and state government bodies, card schemes, systems integrators, payments service providers, consultants, passenger information suppliers and industry bodies. Transit operators and authorities are eligible for complimentary all-access passes to the event.
