TransitScreen develops real-time displays and software that aggregate nearby mobility options for public venues, commercial buildings, apartments, and corporate offices. Its platform shows traditional transit like subways and buses as well as scooters, bikeshare, and ridehail services such as Uber, Lyft, and Via. In November the company launched CityMotion, a mobility app for business commuters that includes information about private employer-provided shuttles. TransitScreen plans to use the new funding to enhance CityMotion’s capabilities, continue hiring, increase its Washington, D.C. office space, and expand in the corporate workplace vertical. The company was founded in 2014 by Matt Caywood and Ryan Croft and is based in Washington, D.C. TransitScreen has raised $6.1M in total funding. TransitScreen operates a network of wind-powered, connected screens that display all types of real-time transit information. The company's displays are deployed for smart cities, smart organizations, universities and real estate firms. It is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has offices in San Francisco, Portland and New York City. TransitScreen closed a $1.5M seed funding round led by 1776 Ventures. The company intends to use the funds to expand into more cities around the world. The funding is intended to support the company's geographic expansion efforts. TransitScreen builds and deploys real-time transit information screens and digital signage that aggregate train and bus schedules, vehicle tracking, bike-sharing and weather data. The product runs across multiple platforms including digital signage, desktop, mobile and the company's SmartWalk digital projections. TransitScreen commercialized from a civic technology pilot project in the Washington, D.C. area and has launched deployments at major universities while preparing rollouts to hotels and office buildings. The company integrates directly with cities, universities and employers to combine multiple data sources for accurate, live transit information. TransitScreen currently has 40 paying customers and is cash-flow positive. The team plans to expand screen deployments worldwide and extend the system into Latin America and the Middle East.
