Complete fare payment platform for public transportation
Token Transit puts cities in the center of managing new mobility by providing a complete fare payment platform for public transportation. Token Transit launched our mobile ticketing app in 2016. We now provide payments for transportation in over 200 cities across the United States and Canada with integration into the major third party trip planning apps such as Transit, Moovit and Google Maps.
Token Transit provides a complete fare payments platform for public transportation, enabling tap-to-pay, mobile passes, smart cards, and pass distribution for riders and agencies. It claims to modernize fare collection and integrate with existing hardware and planning apps to streamline administration and data reporting.
The product supports rider-facing features such as Tap to Pay with credit/debit/digital cards, Smart Card management and reload, and the Send a Pass capability to share transit passes via mobile. For agencies, it offers fare distribution, fare collection that adapts to various hardware setups, and administration tools to manage fares and collect sales/activation/validation data. The system is described as an integrated, scalable platform that connects with trip-planning apps, third-party fareboxes and faregates, and CAD/AVL systems, and it includes case studies and portal access for agencies.
Who it’s for: Transit agencies of all sizes (from small to large) looking to modernize fare collection and distribution for riders.
Customers: JTA Jacksonville, FL, Omnitrans San Bernadino, CA, CT transit, State of Connecticut

City nerd that never learned how to drive. Now working with cities to improve transportation infrastructure.
I've never owned a car and am passionate about improving American public transit and making our cities more livable for all.
I love building and understanding complex systems, from distributed computer networks (Akamai, my first real job) to the infrastructure of American cities and towns (Token Transit). As the CTO of Token Transit, I balance our engineering resources against the needs of current and potential customers and try to feed as many birds with as few scones as possible. Previously, I finished MIT in CS & Math, then worked for Akamai, Google and MeteorJS (currently: Apollo).
