Produced by Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council, the toolkit provides a step-by-step guide to setting up a smart card scheme to enable councils to improve access to services for citizens. Complete with an at-a-glance checklist, the toolkit takes users from identifying a scheme to implementation based on expertise and experience from officers at Bolton who have implemented the council's own Access Bolton smart card.
Richard Tyndall, National Smartcard project manager, said, “With all local authorities being required to meet priority outcome G12 to implement smart card schemes for access to leisure and libraries by 2006 the project's toolkit provides a useful guide to the process.
“While all local authorities will undoubtedly approach the challenge differently in order to meet their own local circumstances the expertise and experience of authorities like Bolton that have implemented multi-application smart cards is invaluable to the process.”
