All transit journeys begin and end at a stop, station or exchange. They are hubs of activity and an important part of our communities. There is, however, ample opportunity to improve this part of the transit passenger journey.     
 Through this Open Innovation Call, TransLink is seeking ideas on how innovative technologies, solutions, processes, business models and partnerships can enhance the customer experience at transit stops, stations and exchanges including:

           
• Making accessing, moving through, and waiting at transit stops, stations and exchanges feel more comfortable and more enjoyable;    
       
• Improving customer well-being while at our stops, stations and exchanges; and       
       
• Making better use of this space to add value to the customers’ journeys and improve efficient flow and circulation.    

Eligibility (Who can submit?)
Ideas will be accepted from anyone, but in order to stimulate grass-roots innovation in the new mobility field, TransLink particularly wishes to encourage technology start-ups, students in higher education, and enterprising non-profits to submit.
