The right option for every trip.

1-Click, the open-source trip-planning platform from CS Software, connects riders with trip options tailored to their needs and circumstances.

As the variety of transportation options grows, travelers want to know all those available to them. While riders face the challenge of determining which service best fits their needs, agencies struggle to accurately present the service options they provide.

1-Click solves this challenge through a virtual “trip aggregator” that assembles information on a wide variety of available modes: public transit, private, rail, rideshare, carpool, volunteer, paratransit, and walking and biking. The platform makes this information directly available to travelers through slick, easy-to-use mobile web sites, and indirectly available through other applications that support reservations, trip booking, medical scheduling and more.

Connecting Travelers with Services

Simplified Mobility Management. Travelers and those who assist them can be overwhelmed by the time, cost and convenience tradeoffs in reviewing trip options. 1-Click simplifies the trip planning process by assessing eligibility requirements and rider needs, enabling travelers to evaluate their options and providing call center or social service staff with the necessary information to identify options that meet the needs of every traveler.

Integrated Transportation. At the core of 1-Click is a set of tools that leverage open and published data standards like GTFS, GTFS-Flex, the Uber/Lyft APIs, and more to provide a comprehensive, multimodal trip planning capability that screens travel options and organizes them for use by other systems, including the 1-Click|CS mobile web site.
