Abstract

A method for conditionally redeeming transportation credits through a transportation credit program having a sponsor may include verifying, through a validation network provider across a computer network, a recipient's eligibility for a transportation credit having one or more redemption conditions, issuing the transportation credit to the recipient, transmitting the transportation credit to a transportation service provider through the validation network provider across the computer network, and enforcing one or more of the redemption conditions by monitoring one or more of the redemption conditions using a mobile computing device. A method for preventing unauthorized redemption of a conditional transportation credit may include transmitting a transportation credit having a redemption condition to a transportation provider through a validation network provider across a computer network, verifying the redemption condition is met using a mobile computing device, and redeeming the credit with the transportation provider based on verifying that the redemption condition is met.
