StreetLight Data primarily serves clients involved in transportation infrastructure, such as government agencies, urban planners, and engineering firms. These clients use the platform to make informed decisions about where to build new infrastructure, how to manage traffic congestion, and how to measure the economic impact of transportation projects.
Operating in the transportation analytics market, StreetLight Data stands out by offering a self-serve platform.

The platform covers an extensive range of data, including 5 million miles of roadway and 10 million blocks, with 100% coverage of U.S. Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs).
The business model is subscription-based, where clients pay for access to the platform and its data services. This recurring revenue model ensures a steady income stream, allowing the company to continually update and improve its offerings. StreetLight Data also provides specialized tools like the COVID-19 VMT Monitor, which helps clients track vehicle miles traveled during the pandemic, thereby aiding in budget adjustments and planning.
In summary, StreetLight Data is revolutionizing transportation planning by making big data accessible and actionable. Their validated and accurate analytics are used across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, enabling smarter infrastructure projects and better mobility management.
