Registered Traveler Program Now Interoperable
|
| The Transportation Security Clearinghouse and Security Biometric Clearing Network hosts unique system that enables interoperability at the nation’s airports |
ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 27, 2007 – The Registered Traveler (RT) program hit an important milestone with the introduction of operations at Reno-Tahoe International Airport. The RT program is actively interoperable, with two different private-sector service providers operating at six airports across the country. Interoperability is a critical keystone in the RT program that allows cards, regardless of the service provider from which they were issued, to be read and accepted by other providers’ operating at participating airports. This is accomplished through the Central Information Management System (CIMS) which was developed and is operated by the Security Biometric Clearing Network (SBCN) for the Transportation Security Clearinghouse (TSC).
