Founded in 2018 by Hugh Martin, Chairman and CEO, Lacuna Technologies builds and manages open-sourced digital tools that allow cities and municipalities to create, communicate, and enforce dynamic transportation policies. The company’s solutions, built on open-source technology, give cities a full picture of how their roads and airways are changing so that they can create evidence-based policies to address congestion, pollution, access and safety issues, and more. Lacuna, and its wholly owned subsidiary Ellis & Associates, work with some of the largest metropolitan areas in the country including the City of Los Angeles, City of Seattle, and Miami-Dade County.
