StreetLight Data, Inc. (“StreetLight”)
StreetLight leverages location data to measure vehicle, transit, bike and foot traffic across the United States and Canada. We provide summary transportation analytics (“Metrics”) at the population level for roads, areas, and a variety of time periods. Our Metrics are leveraged by departments of transportations, MPOs, and private companies to inform decisions ranging from designing transportation infrastructure to measuring greenhouse emissions.
Our use of OpenStreetMap (“OSM”)
StreetLight uses OSM to map likely routes of travel for populations, which allows for inferences of travel patterns of populations along roadways, railways, and recreational trails.

Editing Geographies
StreetLight is currently contributing to edits in the United States and Canada.
Editing Process
For updates to Bus and Rail lines and metadata, StreetLight sources publicly published data directly from agencies to confirm routes and station details. StreetLight responds to suggestions and feedback from editors with proposed resolution steps before resuming edits.
Projects/Edits
- Create and modify bus routes to reflect the current status.
- Create and modify railway routes to reflect the current status. Correct tags, and add missing tags as needed.
The team at StreetLight aims to follow all rules and guidelines for the OSM community. When in doubt, StreetLight makes a note instead of editing directly.
Hashtag
Our hashtag for edits is #streetlight
