FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Jan. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Conduent Transportation, a global provider of smart mobility technology solutions and business unit of Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), today announced its selection by the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) to provide technologies and services to support the state’s PlatePay cashless tolling system .
