TransitScreen, a public information company for smart cities, launched MobilityScore, a website that measures access to buses, trains, taxis, ridesharing, bikesharing, and carsharing.
The website is designed for people who have just moved to a new neighborhood or city, or those making plans for an upcoming trip. By scoring various types of transportation in a city, MobilityScore aims to inform users the best way to travel without a car.
The website provides a numerical transportation score ranging from zero, no available mobility choices, to 100, excellent mobility choices, to any address within the U.S. and Canada, beginning with the 165 million residents of the top 35 urban regions.
MobilityScore includes all transportation services found on TransitScreen's public information displays.
The service is a flexible, reservation-based transit service designed to close the first- and last-mile gaps and connect riders to employment for just $5 per day.
Transit agencies depend on safe, reliable vehicles to deliver consistent service. This eBook examines how next-generation fleet software helps agencies move from reactive processes to proactive operations through automated maintenance, real-time safety insights, and integrated data. Learn how fleets are improving uptime, safety outcomes, and operational efficiency.
In a recent episode of METROspectives, LYT CEO Timothy Menard discusses how artificial intelligence, cloud connectivity, and real-time data are transforming traffic management, boosting bus reliability, and enabling system-wide transit optimization across cities.
The analysis finds that a $4.6 trillion investment across all levels of government over 20 years ($230 billion per year) would be required to build, operate, and maintain a transit network that approaches the level of service within a cohort of 17 global cities with world-class transit systems.
