This marks the fifth consecutive year that Hayden AI has been selected as one of the most innovative companies in the government technology sector.

The company's innovative automated transit zone enforcement platform gained adoption in several major cities, significantly improving public transit safety and performance.

"We're honored to be recognized by GovTech once again as our technology continues to drive positive change for transit agencies and their riders," said Charles Territo, Chief Growth Officer at Hayden AI. “Our mission is to use technology to help transit agencies improve safety and bus reliability, growing ridership and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the process.”
