San Francisco, CA—August 1, 2024—Transit industry technology leaders, Cambridge Systematics (CS) and Swiftly are partnering to expand access to high-quality transit customer experience solutions. This partnership makes it possible for transit agencies to gain integrated access to CS' trusted transportation-focused expertise and Swiftly’s industry-leading Transit Data Platform covering real-time passenger information and performance insights. This partnership leverages the strength of both companies to better serve the transit industry.

“Many of our transit clients are working hard to deliver consistently excellent customer service,” says Sarah Anderson, Chief Growth Officer of CS. “CS and Swiftly realized that we could all better deliver on our shared commitment to our clients and riders if we work together to build bridges between the best in class in transportation expertise, operational data, and demand data. With this new partnership, we can help our clients take their work to the next level.”

“We’re excited to partner with CS to improve transit around the world,” said Ritesh Warade, General Manager of Transit, at Swiftly. “Through our joint approach, even more transit agencies will get access to Swiftly’s industry-leading operational and performance data. We are eager to see our transit data platform leveraged in Cambridge Systematics’ consulting service and LOCUS product.”

Through the new partnership, LOCUS, an industry-leading travel demand modeling platform created by Cambridge Systematics, will also explore integrations with Swiftly’s real-world transit data. Current and prospective clients can work with CS experts, and LOCUS and Swiftly products to tackle challenges across the transit lifecycle: planning, operations, scenario assessment, customer experience, and more.
