Before StreetLight, it took manual counts, roadside surveys, and months of data collection to inform transportation decisions. Our team combines machine learning with deep transportation knowledge to shed light on how our streets really work — and makes data available on-demand to the people shaping today’s transportation.
Our Mission: Better Data for Better Transportation Decisions
We combine our vast location data resources with industry knowledge to shed light on transportation behavior – and make it available to decision makers and practitioners so they can make transportation better and drive positive change.
From helping reduce CO2 emissions, to improving equitable transportation access, to managing New Mobility and reducing traffic fatalities, our metrics help inform and manage transportation’s most complex challenges, while setting the industry bar for privacy protection.
