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.
Living our mission
Make it easy, affordable and intuitive to incorporate transportation and mobility behavior into important decisions throughout the world. Through our pioneering approach to the use of location data, StreetLight will:
- Help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and petroleum use in vehicles, especially by reducing miles driven.
- Improve transportation access and equity.
- Create a new source of knowledge about how people use communities, and make that knowledge available to researchers and policy makers.
- Set the bar for data privacy in mobile analytics.
