Tranzito

Tranzito was recently awarded the bike parking operations and maintenance contract for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) bike parking program. As part of this project, WMATA will be replacing much of its equipment (bike lockers, bike racks) and installing new self-locking bike racks and repair stations. On Wednesday, July 10th, WMATA will be hosting equipment vendors for a demonstration of new bike parking equipment that may be installed throughout the Metrorail system. If you are in the area we’d love to see you! More details can be found at: https://lnkd.in/g5B-uKV8 #transportation #mobility #washingtondc

It's official... Tranzito will begin LADOT's Integrated Mobility Hubs Pilot Program. We're eager to share our vision for the future, but we've got nothing on this project's past.. 15 years ago to be exact. The year was 2009.. the Apple iPhone was considered a toy, MySpace was crushing Facebook, Uber was just getting started as a limo service... and Jay Kim and Tomas Carranza - two mid-level LADOT execs - applied for the Job Access Reverse Commute (JARC) federal grant, alongside Los Angeles Metro. Given the tech landscape at the time, what they envisioned is truly staggering. - A network of 97 "mobility hubs", a non-existent phrase at the time - An on-demand shuttle to get reverse commuters to the Metro rail - An app for multimodal trip plans, 6 years before MaaS Alliance was formed. While the project started off with a bang (a cool $10m grant in 2010), realizing the vision remained elusive. First was the tech hurdle; literally none of their ideas existed. And even if they did, the budget wouldn't come close to building them. But in the end, the exponential growth of Moore's Law - which states that technology doubles roughly every 2 years - had the last laugh. The tech landscape grew by 128 times from 2010 to 2024, and the impossible is now reality. For all the talk about the speed of government, in this case technology finally caught up to Jay and Tomas' vision. With the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games just four years away, the timing is perfect. Our team Fehr & Peers, Designworks, A BMW Group Company, studio one eleven, Spare and others are ready. But we need many more partners to help transform City of Los Angeles... if you're in #transportation and wanna share your vision of the future, holler at me!

It's official.. Tranzito has started the mobility hubs demonstration project for San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), and this may be our most ambitious project yet. #mobilityhubs are all the rage these days, and we've quickly established ourselves as the market leader; highlighted by projects with LADOT, Caltrain, Los Angeles Metro, Orange County Transportation Authority, San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and others. But for all the pilots and studies, and despite different scales and concepts, they've all revolved around dense urban cities. But the vast majority of the US is more like San Joaquin County: mixed urban / rural, assortment of smaller cities to towns, and drives into large urban areas (a typical super-commuter drives 170 miles round-trip to get to SF). That's a ton of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions driven with single occupancy vehicles (SOV) by people of color (POC). That's also a lot of acronyms and fancy planning-speak, which is the point... in order for mobility hubs, and other dorky terms like #smartcities #newmobility et all to manifest into the real world - for real people - we need to expand our view of what we're designing, where we're building, and ultimately who we serve. This project is multi-dimensional, with a planning and design start, culminating into a pilot demonstration site. Luckily we're led by SJCOG's Lauren Batalias, J.D., Christine Tran, MPA, Ryan Niblock, Guadalupe (Lupita) Gutierrez, Gabriela Zamora.
