The TCF was established by Smartex in 1997 at the request of the UK Department for Transport (DfT). It is a membership-based association open to all who are involved professionally with transport applications of smart cards and other smart customer media within the UK. The TCF is a forum where members and delegates from the public and private sector meet for discussion and mutual education relating to smart ticketing, smart payment, journey management and reporting, and to the underlying technologies supporting such applications.

This Forum meets quarterly, including an annual two-day Conference & Exhibition.  Meeting subjects are selected by the TCF Steering Group.  The main focus of this Forum is smart ticketing and payment technologies and applications for public transport.  Meetings are chaired by the Department for Transport, and are attended by transport services providers, transport operators, consultants and other specialists in transport technology
