Tech companies are working to fix one of the biggest contributors to an unhealthy planet and populations: commutes. From the rising rates of traffic in cities causing increased commute times, to studies showing correlations between commuting and adverse effects on your health and the negative effects it places onto our planet, it’s clear that we need some new approaches to getting around.
While some attempted solutions have proven to be flawed, startups are looking to ease the burden of getting around by bringing older transportation methods into the 21st century and even creating entirely new ways to travel.
Wanderu makes public transportation simpler by helping people find, compare, and book travel by bus and train. They have partnered with over 50 bus and train companies to make finding the cheapest, most convenient travel options a breeze. They recently partnered with Moovit in order to help travelers easily travel from their door to their destination.
Brooklyn, NY-based Revel wants to make shared electric mopeds and shared EVs go-to forms of transportation. Customers can reserve and ride their mopeds entirely though the app. They also want to power their fleet as well and help to normalize private EVs with their ‘Superhubs’ which can quickly charge any brand of electric car.
Bolt wants to reduce the use of personal cars and all the downsides that come with them. Their services include ride sharing, scooter and car rentals, food and grocery delivery, and more.
If you want to work for a company dedicated to reshaping the transportation industry, here are 5 companies doing just that and hiring now.

Mobility is the lifeblood of urban environments and cities need affordable, emissions-free transportation options that are free of delays.

Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now
Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
