StreetLight launches industry's first Closure Impacts tool to instantly predict how lane closures affect traffic flow. StreetLight Data Mar 12, 2026, 14:50 ET New Closure Impacts tool enhances Traffic Monitor product to improve safety and congestion during road work and other disruptions SAN FRANCISCO, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ - StreetLight Data, Inc. (StreetLight), a subsidiary of Jacobs (NYSE: J) and a leading transportation analytics company providing insights into how people, goods and services move, today launched Closure Impacts, a new forecasting tool within its Traffic Monitor product for operations teams. The tool enables faster lane closure scenario planning to help teams anticipate the impact of closures on traffic flow and design effective and safety-focused diversions. Developed in partnership with transportation practitioners, Closure Impacts was shaped through months of collaboration and beta testing with DOTs (Departments of Transportation) and AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) firms, incorporating real-world feedback from teams already using it to manage work zone traffic and incidents. The new tool is part of StreetLight's Traffic Monitor product, a comprehensive platform showing operations teams a bird's-eye view of real-time traffic activity paired with historical trends. Traffic operations professionals can now make data-backed decisions for both recurring and nonrecurring disruptions, without requiring additional field infrastructure such as new sensors. Now enhanced with the new Closure Impacts tool, the Traffic Monitor product allows engineers developing Maintenance of Traffic and other traffic control plans for construction, repair works, resiliency planning and more, to: * Evaluate closure scenarios in minutes by comparing multiple lane-closure scenarios, reducing time, cost, and complex modeling effort. * Forecast traffic spillover by visualizing where traffic is likely to divert across arterials and neighborhood streets, identifying potential pressure points before congestion develops. * Select low-impact work windows by identifying times when highway closures will have the least impact on local roads. * Support clear communication with the public and stakeholders during disruptions. "StreetLight works to provide public and private sector planners, engineers and operations teams with useful and reliable transportation metrics and tools," said Kevin Hathaway, StreetLight CEO. "The Traffic Monitor product, now powered with the Closure Impacts tool, helps enhance detour planning and incident response capabilities using real-time traffic data, helping agencies save time and improve traffic flow and work zone safety." In addition to the Closure Impacts tool, StreetLight's Traffic Monitor includes advanced analytics, a real-time incident feed, live speed, travel-time visibility and the ability to replay past event days to plan future events with confidence. Features also include Queuing and Route Monitoring to support real-time traffic operations and decision-making: * Queuing helps transportation professionals see when, where and how traffic queues form and how far back they spill, so they can proactively reduce delays and improve safety across corridors and in work zones. * Route Monitoring shows how traffic is moving along key routes in real-time, helping teams quickly spot problems and take action to restore normal traffic conditions.

Industry-Leading Truck Metrics Released Just in Time to Power 2025 Statewide and Regional Freight PlansSAN FRANCISCO, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- StreetLight Data, Inc. (StreetLight), a subsidiary of Jacobs (NYSE: J) and the leading Big Data company providing insights into how people, goods, and services move, today launched its new Freight Planning product in collaboration with Altitude by Geotab. This offering accelerates and improves freight planning decisions with the industry's most robust truck activity data, available to StreetLight customers in minutes.Using StreetLight's leading machine learning and data science, along with Altitude by Geotab's comprehensive commercial vehicle movement dataset with privacy-first and validated data, the product delivers actionable insights for agencies, businesses, and planners to power critical decision-making around freight movement. The product includes aggregate truck volumes and congestion metrics for all major roads on an easy-to-use platform, saving time and ensuring precision with comprehensive coverage. It delivers rich analytics to understand the 'why' behind truck activity, with data by weight, industry, route type, and more.Available within the StreetLight InSight® application, planners can now contextualize truck activity with other modes of transportation, including personal vehicle, bike, and pedestrian metrics. The ability to compare the distribution of trucks to personal vehicles allows planners to see a more complete picture of travel patterns as an input for corridor planning, project prioritization, safety, signal timing, roadway design, and emissions modeling
"Active transportation mode data, specifically cycling and walking activity, have historically been hard to come by, which is why we are excited to be releasing this report," said Laura Schewel, StreetLight CEO and VP of Transportation Software at Jacobs. Post thisNational TrendsActive transportation (walking plus biking trips) accounted for 10% of trips in 2022, down from 14% in 2019. However, bicycle activity is increasing as a share of all trips, while pedestrian is decreasing as a share of all trips.Annual average daily walking trips in the U.S. declined by 36% nationally between 2019-2022, according to StreetLight, even as pedestrian fatalities trended up over the same period, based on the Governors Highway Safety Association Pedestrian Traffic Fatalities by State report.Walking is starting to stabilize nationally since 2021, with several metro areas seeing an increase in 2022. The increase is driven by the most dense, downtown areas of the country.The decline is sharper in places with more inclement weather. This may indicate that the reduction in overall pedestrian activity is largely a reduction in "utility trips" (e.g., walking to get lunch downtown during a workday), and less due to reduction in "recreational" trips such as going for a walk with friends.State TrendsEvery state saw walking activity decline between 2019-2022
"Changes in bicycling patterns have drawn increasing attention from transportation planners and citizens since the beginning of the pandemic, we are gratified to deliver important and intriguing findings in this eBook," said Laura Schewel, StreetLight CEO and VP of Transportation Software at Jacobs Tweet thisNational TrendsNationally, annual average daily bicycle trips per year grew a considerable 37% between 2019 through 2022. The biggest year-over-year (YoY) uptick was in 2020.Biking activity in dense urban regions increasingly drove national trends. The top 100 metros increased their share of national bike activity, from 72% in 2019 to 77% in 2022.State TrendsAll of the top 10 U.S. states by population saw at least a 25% increase in biking activity between 2019 and 2022.More than half of states saw average daily bicycle trips per year increase by at least 25% between 2019–2022.The East Coast states of New York , New Jersey , and Delaware were the only states where bicycling activity grew by over 50%. North Carolina and Illinois ranked fourth and fifth for growth, respectively.Major Metro (City) TrendsThe top 100 metros grew annual average bicycle trips 46% with big cities showing outsized gains.The New York City metro region was the growth leader. After a slow start during the early pandemic, New York City nearly doubled average daily bike volume in 2022 from 2019.metro region was the growth leader
