## Sound familiar?
### Congestion Derails Schedules
One delayed bus ripples across every stop and every connection on the route.
### Late Buses Lose Riders
Riders who can't count on buses to arrive on schedule are hard to win back.
### Performance Is Public
On-time numbers drive ridership, budget confidence, and system support. They matter.
## How LYT Works
Transit Signal Priority reduces bus delay at signalized intersections by enabling communication between vehicles and traffic signals.
LYT uses vehicle location and schedule data to identify when a bus is running behind and requests priority from the signal controller, extending the green phase or reducing the red.
Priority is granted conditionally based on schedule adherence. Buses running on time do not trigger a request. Normal traffic flow is preserved.
The result is measurable improvement in on-time performance without adding complexity to your existing infrastructure.

## Funding
- CapEx vs. OpEx
- Cooperative Purchasing
- Federal Funding
Most legacy traffic systems are large capital purchases. Hardware, installation, and years before you see a return. LYT is different.
As a cloud-based software platform, LYT is an operating expense. Predictable annual costs. Continuous updates included. No new procurement cycle every time the technology improves.
For agencies navigating budget approvals, OpEx is often faster to authorize and easier to justify with real performance data.
Not ready to commit? Start with a pilot.
LYT's 90-day pilot program gets your agency to measurable results quickly. Defined scope, minimal disruption, and a clear path to full deployment.
[Ask about our pilot program](https://lyt.ai/request-a-demo?hsLang=en)
LYT is available through several cooperative purchasing contracts. Your agency can procure directly without running a competitive solicitation, saving months of procurement time while satisfying bidding requirements.
LYT is currently available through:
DES — Washington State
Washington agencies can procure LYT directly through the Department of Enterprise Services cooperative contract. No RFP required. Fastest path to deployment if you're in Washington.
LA Metro Contract
LYT holds a competitively awarded contract with LA Metro. Eligible agencies can use a rider contract to procure LYT directly, skipping the solicitation process entirely.
NEORide
NEORide member agencies across Ohio and the Midwest can access LYT through this FTA-compliant cooperative. If your agency is a member, procurement is already within reach.
If your state or region uses a different cooperative, talk to our team. We'll help you find the fastest path to contract.

Several federal programs can fund a LYT deployment. Here are the most relevant pathways:
IIJA — Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
Substantial IIJA funds remain available as of early 2026 across multiple DOT programs. Transit agencies and municipalities can access funding through several IIJA-authorized programs including those listed below.
FTA Section 5307 — Urbanized Area Formula Funding
Provides federal resources to transit agencies for capital, operating assistance, and transportation-related planning. Available to urbanized areas with populations of 50,000 or more. Fully funded for FY26.
CMAQ — Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
Explicitly covers priority control systems for emergency vehicles and transit vehicles, including signal technology. Up to 100% federal share for qualifying priority control projects.
HSIP — Highway Safety Improvement Program
Funds safety-focused infrastructure improvements, including technology that reduces intersection risk for emergency vehicles.
State and Regional Funding
Many states and regional MPOs offer additional funding for transit technology and public safety infrastructure. Our team can help identify what's available in your state and geography.

## Protected. Compliant. Compatible.
Cyber threats to public infrastructure are real and growing. LYT takes that seriously. The platform maintains SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and is built with the security requirements of government agencies at its core. Your data is protected, monitored, and never shared without authorization.
LYT integrates with your existing signal controllers and infrastructure. No rip and replace. Our team works with your IT and engineering staff to ensure a secure, compliant deployment from day one.
