Funding and independence
Voluntary support
Help keep Otranspo running.
Otranspo’s independent owner currently pays its operating costs. Voluntary support helps cover those costs while every rider tool stays free.
What your support helps cover
These are the practical costs of keeping rider information useful and available.
Keep the site running
Hosting keeps trip planning, departures, and service information available.
Watch the data
Monitoring helps find missing or stale transit information.
Make it usable
Accessibility work helps more riders use the same tools.
Serve both languages
Reviewed translation keeps English and French information understandable.
The important boundaries
- Rider access
- Always free; never affected by support.
- Payment details
- Entered only on the processor-hosted page; never stored by Otranspo.
- Tax receipt
- None. Contributions are not represented as tax-deductible.
- Placement
- Only on intentional funding pages; never in departures, alerts, maps, accessibility, or active trips.
- Privacy
- Nobody is named without asking to be. Anonymous is the default, the supporters page shows only donors who opted in, and contact details are separate, optional, encrypted, and independently erasable.
- Refunds and disputes
- Handled through the private receipt and support channel, with retained accounting evidence.
