TransitScreen is an American technology company that offers software for digital displays, showing real-time transportation arrival data and other local information.[1] As of 2018, TransitScreen has displays in more than 1,000 buildings in 30 cities,[2] including Washington D.C., Boston, and Pittsburgh.[3]
TransitScreen is a SaaS platform, in which the property or business pays to access its software on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.
History
The company grew out of Arlington County's Mobility Lab,[4] which measures the impacts of transportation demand management services, in 2011. It incorporated in 2013 as Multimodal Logic, Inc.[5] In January 2015, the company closed its first round of seed funding of $600,000, which came from a number of investors, such as 1776 Ventures and Middle Bridge Partners.[6] In late 2015, an additional $800,000 of seed money was raised[7] In April 2018, a new round of funding was announced and was closed in May 2019 from Vancouver-based TIMIA Capital.[8][9] Shortly thereafter, the company announced that its product is available in South America and Western Europe.[10]
In August 2019, TransitScreen and New York-based commercial real estate digital media amenity company Captivate announced a partnership that will bring TransitScreen's real-time data to Captivate's network of multipurpose display screens.[11]
Products
TransitScreen's displays show real-time arrival information for trains, subways, buses, streetcars, and ferries. They also show real-time availability of local bicycle-sharing systems, carsharing, and vehicle for hire companies.[2] The displays are made to correspond to the specific address where the individual screen is located.[12]
In September 2017, TransitScreen released its MobilityScore rating, which uses historical data to determine how easy it is to get around a given location without a car.[13] It is similar to Walk Score, but measures the mobility and transit accessibility of an address rather than proximity to amenities.[14]
In November 2018, TransitScreen released its mobile application, CityMotion.[15] CityMotion is location-based and shows the user the real-time availability of mobility options nearby. Like TransitScreen, it is a B2B product and is not currently available for individual consumers.
