Membership Matters

• Membership

  What membership means

  Being an ITSO member means operating within a shared framework that balances consistency with flexibility. Members work to a common Specification and operating environment, helping ensure that products and systems can work together reliably across different schemes, operators, and regions.

  Membership establishes the rights, responsibilities, and protections that underpin this environment - supporting trust, interoperability, and innovation at national scale.

  Who ITSO membership is for

  ITSO membership supports organisations across the UK's transport and ticketing ecosystem.

  • Public sector bodies responsible for scheme ownership, policy, and delivery

  • Transport operators delivering passenger services across one or more schemes

  • Suppliers developing ITSO-compliant products, systems, and services

  Each sector engages with ITSO in different ways, while benefiting from the same trusted national framework.
