Information Flow Definitions
actuate secure payment (Planned)

personal transit information (Planned) Selected Comm Solution
General and personalized transit information for a particular fixed route, flexible route, or paratransit system.
transit information user request (Planned) Selected Comm Solution
Request for special transit routing, real–time schedule information, and availability information.
traveler payment information (Planned)
Information provided for payment of road use charges, tolls or parking fees including identification that can be used to identify the payment account or source and related vehicle and service information that are used to determine the type and price of service requested. The information exchange normally supports an account debit to pay fees, but an account credit may be initiated where pricing strategies include incentives.
traveler payment request (Planned)
Request for information supporting payments. For fee structures that include incentives, the request may support either an account debit or an account credit or reimbursement.

The itinerary identifies a route and associated traveler information and instructions identifying recommended trip modes (including indoor and outdoor wayfinding) and transfer information, ride sharing options, and transit and parking reservation information. This flow also includes intermediate information that is provided as the trip plan is interactively created, including identification of alternatives, requests for additional information as well as amenities along the trip.
user account setup (Planned)
Billing information, vehicle information (or registration information), and requests for reports. Also includes subsequent account changes.
