Company Information
Subtitle:
Chesapeake, Virginia, October 30, 2009. The
success story of INIT Innovations in Transportation Inc. has reached 
a milestone with the celebration of its 10 year anniversary. Since 
1999, when INIT was first established as an ITS provider on the North
American market, INIT has managed to win the respect and partnership 
of customers in more than 20 cities from New York City to Vancouver, 
Canada. Based on the competence of its staff, INIT Inc. has produced 
a steady stream of innovations in public transit throughout its 
ten-year history. Thus, INIT has contributed significantly to a more 
attractive, faster and more efficient transit service in the US.
"We are pleased to celebrate INIT´s anniversary and the growth, 
investment and jobs the company has brought to our city," said 
Chesapeake Mayor Alan Krasnoff. "Ten years ago, INIT chose Cehsapeake
as a central base to launch its intelligent transportation systems.  
Today, the company has globally impacted public transit as we know 
it. INIT is representative of the number of international companies 
that locate here, find a skilled workforce, and strategically access 
new markets, and we are delighted they call Chesapeake one of their 
homes."
Green innovation sweeps public transport in the US
Merely one year after winning the first contract in Akron, Ohio, the 
ITS map of the USA was already peppered with nine INIT-green dots. 
INIT had gained new partners in Albany, Champaign-Urbana, Rock 
Island, Lafayette, Portland, Denver, St. Louis and Montreal as 
customers. In 2003, it added Houston METRO to the list, where INIT 
provided some 1,350 buses and their control center with hardware and 
software. This contract is still one of the largest in company 
history.
In 2005, New York followed the example of Houston. New York City 
Transit equipped more than 1,300 of its paratransit buses with 
on-board computers delivered by INIT. In the years following, INIT 
Inc. continued to produce exceptional technology building a quality 
reputation with new projects in Toronto, Vancouver, B.C., Everett, 
Dallas, Seattle and San Francisco.
Due to INIT´s outstanding experience gained in over 400 projects 
worldwide, INIT systems are highly flexible and adaptive to any given
IT infrastructure. INIT Inc., together with its German parent 
company, init innovation in traffic systems AG, is one of the global 
leaders in ITS and electronic fare payment systems.
INIT goes West Coast
Over the last three years, INIT won three new customers on the West 
Coast of the USA - King County Metro (Seattle, WA), Community Transit
(Everett, WA) and Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation 
District (San Francisco, CA). Just recently INIT Inc. has been 
commissioned as a general contractor by Portland TriMET, one of the 
leading local public transportation providers in the USA.
Another chapter of INIT`s success story has begun. High hopes and new
opportunities will allow INIT to continue driving the future of 
mobility all over the world.
