Unisys Registered Traveler Program Opens At Reno-Tahoe International Airport

  • Jul 02, 2007
Unisys Corp. recently announced its Registered Traveler program, rtGO, is open at Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Registration began in May and members have begun receiving their rtGOcards, which they will use at specially designated security lanes to verify their identity and pass through airport security quicker and more efficiently.

Registered Traveler, which began as a TSA pilot program in the summer of 2004, permits frequent fliers to obtain a biometric credential -- a unique identifier, such as a fingerprint or iris scan -- that enables them to navigate airport security checkpoints more efficiently without compromising the security standards TSA has implemented.

In accordance with parameters that industry and government established, Unisys rtGO card is interoperable, meaning that any rtGO member can use his or her card at any airport with a Registered Traveler program, regardless of whether Unisys or another vendor operates the program.

“We are delighted to welcome Reno-Tahoe travelers to the rtGO program,” said Bryan Ichikawa, Registered Traveler program director of Unisys. “We want rtGO members to know that we are continually evaluating additional benefits to add to the program-- including technologies that can further speed the security process and reciprocal relationships with travel-related vendors who might provide incentives to members.”

The rtGOSM registration office at the Reno airport is located near carousel four at the baggage claim. Registrants provide some basic identifying information and also have their finger prints and iris scanned. TSA then conducts a background check and, once customers are approved, they will receive their official rtGO card. The card contains only a template of the biometric information; therefore, it cannot be compromised or used to verify the identity of anyone other than the rtGO member. Verification at the security lane kiosk takes just a few seconds.

“Unisys and the rtGOSM program have been outstanding partners for the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority,” Krys Bart, A.A.E., executive director and chief executive officer of the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority, said. “They have provided our airport and community with a highly professional staff that demonstrates a strong understanding of the unique customer service that is required in today’s airport environment.”
