According to a recent LinkedIn post from StreetLight, researchers at The University of New Mexico used the company’s mobility data to study the relationship between bus rapid transit, or BRT, infrastructure and traffic safety. The post highlights findings that BRT corridors may calm vehicle speeds even when posted limits are unchanged, with a pronounced effect on 85th percentile speeds, which are often used by engineers to assess speeding behavior.

The post suggests that these results could position StreetLight’s analytics as a useful tool for evaluating safety outcomes of transit investments, potentially increasing demand from city planners and transportation agencies. Greater adoption in this segment could support recurring software and data-licensing revenue and reinforce StreetLight’s role in data-driven transportation planning, though the LinkedIn content does not provide specific commercial details or contracts linked to the research.
