NFC Forum explores the role of NFC in mobility-as-a-service

The NFC Forum has published a paper laying out strategies for the use of NFC technology in the development and deployment of electronic identification (eID) by mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) platforms and multi-modal transportation services.

The Management and Use of Identities in Mobility and Transport market requirements document (MRD) details the benefits that MaaS offers across transportation systems and explains why identity information is 'the link that connects the various modes of transportation and their service operators in order to support MaaS and enable a seamless multi-leg and multi-modal journey for customers'.
