Technical feasibility assessment of CA mDL for Cal-ITP Benefits

[indexing]

Assess the technical feasibility of supporting CA mDL as a method to verify rider identity and eligibility for certain enrollment pathways in Cal-ITP Benefits.

• I believe we would use the OpenCred platform offered by the CA DMV.
• Github repo is here: https://github.com/stateofca/opencred

Use case

This is the use case they highlight that enlightened me:

1. Secure Login for DMV Services

• Individual goes to CA DMV website to start a process that requires them to log into their CA DMV website account.
• The current process requires them to use a username and password, which can be forgotten or stolen.
  A new option, with the individual’s consent, uses the CA DMV App to log in using a much more secure mechanism than using a username and password.
• This helps provide more security around the individual’s account and how they manage their CA DMV related activities.

Questions

• Because this functionality in open source, can we can integrate it into the Benefits app without additional agreements with the DMV (e.g the authority to operate)?
• What attributes are available for the Benefits app to use to verify eligibility for transit benefits (e.g. date of birth). I'm especially curious if they offer Veteran or Veteran disability status, as well as general disability status.
• What is the t-shirt size level of effort to complete the integration?
• Any areas of particular concern that introduce risk in supporting this integration?
