Cal-ITP Benefits - Eligibility (Various Devices)1x

Overview

This major release of the Cal-ITP Benefits application expands eligibility verification to U.S. Veterans and brings user-facing improvements in the application copy, translations, and accessibility.

Features

Enrollment pathway for U.S. Veterans

Similar to the pathway older adults use to verify their age via Login.gov and register their contactless debit or credit card for reduced fares when paying for transit, the Benefits application now offers online benefit enrollment for U.S. Veterans.

  • The Benefits app now allows U.S. Veterans who use public transit at participating transit providers in California to verify their Title 38 Veteran status at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and receive reduced fares when paying by contactless debit or credit card.
  • Any California transit agency using the Benefits app can enable this pathway to offer Veterans electronic enrollment for reduced fares.
  • Read the veterans use case on our documentation site for implementation details.
  • Watch a video walkthrough of the Veterans flow from a user perspective.

Enhancements

Refined application copy

  • Simplified application copy in many areas of the app.
  • Supplemental information is now presented in contextual information modals throughout the app. This new pattern reduces the amount of copy in the app, but allows riders to get additional, detailed information when they want it.
  • Revised copy improves readability for a broad audience.
  • Updated Spanish translation of app content using an external vendor.

Improved accessibility

  • Color adjustments ensure contrast ratios throughout the app now meet or exceed AA standards.
  • Custom, in-app focus rings now adhere to application styles. Riders can navigate the entirety of the app using a keyboard.
  • Links in the app that take the rider to an external website now include an external link icon.

Illustrations

  • The view confirming success enrollment for all benefit pathways now includes an illustration, our first in the app.
