About

Waypoint Transit is a San Francisco-based AI city planning platform — backed by Y Combinator (W25) — providing municipal governments and state transportation agencies with AI-generated civil infrastructure studies and transportation planning reports at 30% of traditional consulting costs and in months rather than years. Serving early customers including the City of Duluth and the Minnesota Department of Transportation with 10+ US municipalities engaged, Waypoint Transit disrupts the $50 billion annual municipal planning consulting market by automating the technical report generation that cities currently outsource to engineering consultants at high cost and over extended timelines. Founded in 2024 by Stanford engineering graduates Varun Tandon (former Microsoft applied ML lead for Copilot and Office products) and Ryan Johnston (former Apple chip design synthesis, created novel real-time transit signage for his hometown).
