Techniques are disclosed for providing trip planning and associated payment of a trip involving multiple modes of transportation (i.e., “multi-modal trip planning”). Embodiments can enable a user to plan a multi-modal journey on an electronic device, and pay for products (tolls, tickets, etc.) associated with the journey on the same electronic device, or a different electronic device. Embodiments can also allow for re-planning a journey, providing for an alternative route when current information regarding an original route suggests the alternate route would be advisable. Payment for products associated with the alternate route can be provided. |

obtaining, subsequent to a determination of a first route of travel, information regarding the first route of travel, wherein the first route of travel comprises a first set of travel instructions to a destination provided to a first user device; determining, using the obtained information regarding the first route of travel, that travel along the first route of travel could be impacted; determining, with a processing unit and based on the obtained information regarding the first route of travel, a second route of travel, wherein:
the second route of travel comprises a second set of travel instructions to the destination, different than the first set of travel instructions, andthe second route of travel involves multiple modes of transportation; providing, via a communication interface, the second route of travel; and receiving, via the communication interface, information for a payment associated with at least one of the multiple modes of transportation of the second route of travel. |
