ABOUt

Jawnt makes transit the best way to move around our city.

We give riders access to every bus, subway, bike, and scooter – all through the Jawnt platform and paid for by their employers.

We are reinventing the world of commuter benefits for riders, employees, and transit agencies. Through direct partnerships with providers and thoughtfully-designed technology, our work  increases economic access and reduces carbon emissions from private vehicles in our cities.

In 2018, our cofounders Jeff and Will first met for lunch in a train station. They quickly became close friends with a deep mutual respect for each other’s skills and shared desire to use technology to improve cities. In 2021, with 15+ years of combined startup experience, they saw the opportunity to improve transit benefits. The rest is history.

Values

Our five core values guide all of our work

đź‘« Humans first

We keep humans – riders, HR admins, transit agency employees, and our own employees – at the center of everything we do. We believe better technology is in service of a better human experience.

🌻 Simple systems for a complex world

We are working with highly complex, interconnected systems. Complex is okay, but complicated is not. We believe that often the simplest solutions are the best.

đźš‚ All aboard!

We think multi-modally and value inclusion within our team and our work. We continuously seek to recognize and support the diversity of transit riders at-large.

đź’Ż Act like an owner

We are all responsible for the success of Jawnt. We are willing to step outside of our job description to ensure we are delivering the best possible experience. All full-time employees are offered stock options in Jawnt so they are quite literally owners.

⏰ Respect time

Time is all of our most precious resources. Just like transit, we earn the trust of our riders and customers by meeting deadlines and running on schedule.
