About Waypoint Transit
Waypoint is transforming urban planning through automation, helping cities plan more efficiently, affordably, and effectively. In the U.S., cities often rely heavily on consulting firms for routine planning tasks—tasks that are frequently repetitive, costly, and algorithmic in nature.
Our mission is to empower cities with automated planning solutions, enabling them to rapidly design sustainable, resilient, and human-centric urban environments.
