"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Big data is increasingly key to understanding how people move, and helping them do so most efficiently. And there is ever more data available. Everyone’s got a smartphone, which can provide, and collect, vast amounts of information. Transit systems across the country are making their data available to everyone, letting the public see when the No. 4 bus will arrive.

What’s needed now is a way to crunch all that data and make it useful to anyone trying to determine the best way of getting from Point A to Point B. That’s why a group of former Google engineers and Stanford researchers founded Urban Engines and released an app it calls Urban Engines Maps https://www.urbanengines.com/ .
