1. A system comprising:
a non-transitory memory; and
one or more hardware processors configured to execute instructions from the non-transitory memory to perform operations comprising:
creating a digital transportation pass that allows transportation requestor devices to request transit via the digital transportation pass within a multi-modal transportation ecosystem that includes a plurality of different transportation modalities;
receiving a first transportation request from a transportation requestor device, the transportation requestor device including a global positioning system (GPS) radio configured to provide a real-time location of the transportation requestor device;
determining a first real-time location of the transportation requestor device;
determining, based at least partially on the first real-time location of the transportation requestor device, that the transportation request satisfies one or more redemption criteria that allow the transportation requestor device to receive the requested transit via the digital transportation pass, wherein the redemption criteria specify a pass coverage zone that identifies different geographically-defined coverage areas in which at least two different transportation modalities will operate under the pass, wherein the geographically-defined coverage area is transmitted to the transportation requestor device for presentation in a user interface;
presenting, on the user interface, an indication that the user is in a pass coverage zone for at least one transportation modality of the plurality of transportation modalities;
determining, based on the real-time location provided by the GPS radio, that the transportation requestor device is in a second, different location covered by a different geographically-defined coverage area;
causing the user interface to show an updated, different pass coverage zone for the transportation modality based on the second, different real-time location of the transportation requestor device; and
upon receiving, via the updated user interface, a second transportation request using the transportation modality, fulfilling the second transportation request in response to determining that the second transportation request satisfies the redemption criteria.
