In this episode of The Climate Cycle, we explore the world of public transit and its positive impact on our climate and communities.

Our guest is Justin Hunt, co-founder and CEO at Blaise Transit. Blaise is a sustainable mobility technology provider whose objective is to improve the cost-efficiency, ridership, and coverage of transit services. Blaise’s flagship product is a universal software platform based in artificial intelligence that allows local transit agencies to implement on-demand transit, paratransit or any other reservation-based transit service, using clicks, not code.

Justin has dedicated the past six years to nurturing Blaise Transit from its inception to a global force in the transit industry. Under his leadership, Blaise Transit has grown to a team of over 20 professionals and established partnerships with over 60 communities throughout North America.

In our conversation, Justin shares how his personal experiences using transit growing up led to founding Blaise Transit, how on-demand solutions are improving access (and in some cases safety) for communities, and the role of public transit in tackling climate change.
