“The US continues to lead the world in traffic deaths per capita, vehicle emissions output, and cars sold — it’s a compounding issue,” said Justin Dennis, Urban SDK COO and Co-founder. “Our cities do not have one platform for traffic engineers to easily access traffic diagnostics for any local road, make decisions to improve traffic safety and efficiency, and quickly communicate with stakeholders. Traffic Management is a $5 Billion market opportunity and we could not be more excited to solve this problem with GOVO as partners.”
An alum of the Techstars Smart Mobility Accelerator, Urban SDK provides public works, planning, and law enforcement officials with a system of record used to create safer roadways. By streamlining traffic management operations and equipping officials with diagnostic reports of local roads, Urban SDK ensures that stakeholders have the information they need to keep their communities safe.
