The category is for a financial institution or operator that has launched a successful new EMV transport ticketing service in the past 12 months. The award will take into account usage rates and ease of use.
·Best smart card ticketing service: This award recognises a transport operator or local authority that has launched a successful smart card ticketing programme in the last 12 months. The award will take into account the service user-adoption, duration and sustainability.
·Most successful mobile ticketing programme: This award recognises the best deployment of mobile as a ticketing technology. The award will take into account service adoption, consumer experience and innovative approaches to implementing the technology.

·Best customer serving operator: This category recognises a transport operator or local authority that has launched, scaled or executed an exciting smart mobility programme. This award is open to individual organisations or partnerships who are responsible for developing or operating the service.
·Industry contributor: This award recognises a specific individual who has significantly contributed to development of the fare collection and passenger information market. Operator or vendor, who do you think deserves to be acknowledged?
