Leicestershire chooses ACT
The Leicestershire Concessionary Travel Partnership has chosen ACT to provide a full range of travel products and managed services for the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS). ACT has delivered on time and to budget: the CMS, card production and fulfilment services, integration services and ongoing programme management.
2008 is an exciting year for English transport, featuring the roll-out of the all-England ITSO concessionary travel scheme. The English Concessionary Travel Pass entitles all those aged 60+ and the disabled to free bus travel across England.
The Leicestershire existing concessionary bus passes will be replaced by smart cards delivered by ACT and its sub-contractor ESP Systex Limited. The project has enabled over 100,000 concessionary travellers throughout Leicester and Leicestershire to receive their cards and will provide interoperable travel across England.
