Connectpoint Wins the 2026 IoT Transportation & Mobility Award

Salt Lake City, June 15, 2026 — IoThinkTank is proud to announce that Connectpoint has been named the winner of the 2026 IoT Transportation & Mobility Award for its connected public transit technology that improves rider visibility, accessibility, and real-time transportation intelligence at the stop level.

As transportation systems become more connected, agencies are under increasing pressure to deliver accurate, timely information across every part of the rider journey. Connectpoint stood out for addressing one of public transit’s most persistent information gaps: bringing real-time passenger information directly to the bus stop, including locations that lack traditional electrical infrastructure.

Why Connectpoint Won

Connectpoint earned top recognition for its deployment of solar-powered, connected passenger information systems that help transit agencies modernize rider communication without requiring costly infrastructure upgrades. Through real-time ePaper displays, LED signage, centralized content management, and scalable deployment models, Connectpoint enables agencies to provide arrival information, service alerts, emergency messaging, route details, and accessible rider communication where passengers need it most.

The company’s Digital Bus Stop® technology demonstrated strong transportation impact through large-scale agency adoption, practical deployment value, and clear rider-facing benefits. By combining low-power IoT hardware, real-time transit data feeds, remote system monitoring, and centralized cloud management, Connectpoint is helping agencies improve public transit confidence, accessibility, and operational communication.

“Transportation innovation is not only about moving vehicles. It is also about improving the information systems that make mobility more reliable, accessible, and useful for riders. Connectpoint stood out for delivering connected transit infrastructure with proven deployment scale, practical rider impact, and strong real-world execution.”
Jordan Hayes, IoThinkTank Awards Coordinator
