What we do

Hopthru's mission is to help make public transportation the most compelling mode of urban travel.

 

With an estimated additional 2.5 billion people living in cities by 2050, we must embrace modes of transportation that are proven to be more efficient than single occupancy vehicles. Transit can decrease congestion, lower carbon emission levels and provide an equitable solution for all city dwellers.

 

How we do it

Hopthru builds data tools for some of the most innovative and advanced transportation systems in North America. We help public transit agencies gather, clean and interpret their data, allowing them to streamline operations, surface problems and plan for a better future.
