About us
Our Vision
Complex challenges need simple, impactful solutions
The world of transit is full of complex challenges that take years, even decades, to solve. This includes overhauling operations to go from cash to cashless, rebuilding ridership and improving customer experience post-pandemic, and serving the growing number of mega events in the city – all while being under-staffed and under-resourced.
With all the risks, uncertainties, and intricacies of the job, transit teams need reliable, trackable, and impactful solutions they can start working with today.
At Velocia, we want to help transit agencies simplify and optimize operations, ridership, and resources with real-time impact and no big capital investments.
Our solutions
Behavior changes that stick
Using real time rewards-based solutions, we can help transit agencies solve the toughest of challenges, increasing ridership and engagement through sustainable behavior change.
We work with leading-edge transit agencies, mobility as service providers, and municipalities to hyper-target rider behavior change with rewards in real-time to drive up ridership, engagement via surveys and feedback, use of new transit services, and reduce hassles with easy data integration.
The result? Transit ridership solutions you, and your riders, can count on.
