For Cities & Communities

A healthier city starts with how people move

PaceLeaf gives cities a powerful, community-driven tool to promote active transportation, increase transit ridership, and meet sustainability KPIs — while engaging residents in a way that's actually fun.

FAQ

City partner questions

How does PaceLeaf handle resident data and privacy?

Cities receive only aggregate, anonymized data. We never share individual resident data with government entities without explicit resident consent. Our privacy standards are designed to exceed applicable regulations.

Can PaceLeaf integrate with our existing transit apps?

We're developing integrations with common transit fare systems. For early city partners, PaceLeaf operates alongside existing apps with no IT integration required.

Is there grant funding available for city partnerships?

Many federal, state, and regional sustainability grants cover active transportation and public health initiatives that align with PaceLeaf programs. We can provide documentation to support grant applications.

What's the cost for cities?

City partnership pricing is custom based on program scope and population. We offer subsidized rates for pilot programs. Contact us to design a proposal that fits your budget.
