Background
The Open Transport Initiative was set-up by a group of organisations working in transport and technology, to further the creation & adoption of Open Standards across the transport & mobility sector.
Since the publication of the UK Government’s Smart Data consultation response “Next Steps for Smart Data” published back in September 2020, we have campaigned for the introduction of ‘Open Banking’ like data sharing practices to be properly adopted across the Transport & Mobility sector.
Company
Open Transport Technology Ltd operates as a not-for-profit organisation, whose primary purpose is creating and maintaining a smart data scheme for the transport & mobility sector that delivers wider societal benefit.
Open Transport Technologies Ltd is the company set-up to administer The Open Transport Initiative.
Advisory Board
The Open Transport Initiative is governed by an Advisory Board with significant & diverse experience. Their role includes overseeing any proposed changes to the current published Open Standards and produce & agree any funding applications (e.g. to help implement Smart Data schemes and create reference implementations of the published API specifications).
The current Advisory Board members are:
- Hayden Sutherland
- Marcus Mayers
- Gregor Johnston
