## Who we serve
### Fire Departments
When a call comes in, every intersection on the route should already know it. LYT's route prediction clears the path before your truck arrives — no line-of-sight hardware, no missed signals.
[See LYT for Fire](https://lyt.ai/public-safety?hsLang=en)
### Transit Agencies
Buses delayed by congestion don't just frustrate riders — they cost agencies. LYT uses dynamic modeling to predict and prioritize signal timing in real time, so buses run on schedule and agencies spend resources moving people, not managing delays.
[See LYT for Transit](https://lyt.ai/transit?hsLang=en)
### Public Works Departments
LYT works with your existing signal controllers and requires no new roadside hardware. Priority is granted only when conditions call for it, so overall traffic flow stays coordinated and your infrastructure stays yours.
[See How LYT Works](https://lyt.ai/snow-plow-priority?hsLang=en)
### EMS & Police
The most dangerous moment in an emergency response is crossing an intersection. LYT preempts signals ahead of your vehicles — protecting your crew, clearing cross-traffic, and reducing collision risk in real time.

## Funding LYT
- 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.

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.
[Talk to our team](https://lyt.ai/request-a-demo?hsLang=en)
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.
