SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 11, 2026 – LYT, a provider of cloud-based, AI-powered traffic signal priority technology, announced today that it has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, the annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

LYT helps public safety, emergency and transit agencies communicate with traffic signals through existing vehicle and city infrastructure. Its platform uses real-time vehicle, route and schedule information to grant signal priority when it is needed, helping emergency vehicles clear intersections and transit buses maintain more reliable service. Because LYT works with existing city traffic lights and vehicle systems, agencies can modernize without installing new roadside hardware at every intersection. In 2025 alone, LYT helped eliminate more than 73,000 hours of red-light wait time through its intelligent traffic solutions.
