In this episode of Stop Requested, Levi McCollum and Christian Londono talk with Anthony Trasatti, co-founder and CEO of Ontra Mobility. Anthony shares how his work in operations research and the MARTA Reach pilot led to building an AI-powered platform for transit planning.

The conversation explores how agencies can test thousands of network scenarios, uncover unmet demand, and weigh tradeoffs between ridership, coverage, cost, and equity. Anthony also discusses where AI can support planners, why operational constraints still require human judgment, and how better modeling can turn long-range ideas into practical service changes.
