Project Transit, Transit Consulting & Technology Advisory Firm, New Jersey

Full Editorial Writeup

Project Transit is a management and technology consulting firm founded in 2010, serving asset-intensive clients primarily in the public transportation sector with growing capabilities across aviation, micromobility, and paratransit. The firm advises public transit authorities and infrastructure operators on strategic planning, operational efficiency, disruption planning, and modernizing the technology and systems behind their transportation networks. Based in Bergen County, NJ, the company runs a 30-person full-time team with deep operational roots inside the transit industry.

The business holds diversity certifications (women- and minority-owned) that let it benefit from federal and state mandates favoring diverse participation in public contracting. That certification advantage, combined with longstanding relationships with top-tier prime consulting firms, has driven strong penetration into the competitive Northeastern market where it frequently serves as a preferred sub-consultant on major engagements. Over its history the firm has secured more than 200 engagements with leading public transit authorities.

Financially, the firm generated $7.7M in revenue and $1.1M in EBITDA in 2025, with management projecting over $8M in revenue and $1.4M in EBITDA by year-end on a diversified and increasingly complex contract portfolio. Roughly 50% of projects lead to follow-on work from existing clients, reducing reliance on competitive bidding. The company is actively transitioning from sub-consultant to prime consultant roles and is seeking a partner to scale operations into that next phase.
