Cal-ITP: California Integrated Travel Project

Partners

Bringing a modern and consistent transportation experience to all Californians requires help from a broad range of experts. That's why Cal-ITP is proud to work collaboratively with our partners.

California Department of Technology

We collaborate with the California Department of Technology (CDT) to provide transit riders with a seamless way to qualify for and enroll in transit benefits online.

“The Cal-ITP project offered us a test-case to deliver dependable and equitable public services, and reduce outdated paper-based processes.”
- Greg Fair, California Digital Identity Chief and Acting Chief Product Officer at CDT

Together, we aim to:

  • Expand Cal-ITP Benefits, our web application that uses Login.gov and the California Identity Gateway to safely and securely provide digital eligibility checks for transit benefits.
    • Transit riders who are older adults and U.S. Veterans can use the service today.
    • Support eligibility checks for CalFresh cardholders, Medicare cardholders, and people with disabilities in the coming year.
  • Promote the use of a Digital ID system that can be used across state departments. 
  • Demonstrate how we can deliver dependable and equitable public services while reducing the need for outdated paper-based processes.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) helps us improve the distribution of transportation benefits for state agencies and recipients in California. Together, we aim to:

  • Promote sustainable transit options
  • Identify payment issuance approaches to make electric vehicle charging and other mobility options more easily accessible for individuals who have low incomes, or who are unbanked or underbanked
  • Close the gap between those who are eligible for mobility benefits and those who receive them
  • Explore the application of rewards and loyalty programs in transit

Cal-ITP’s collaboration with CARB is part of  California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment — particularly in disadvantaged communities.
