Chicago Smart Streets program using CTA buses to keep bike lanes clear expanding city-wide

Hayden AI Mobility Infrastructure Update November 5, 2026

Chicago is expanding Smart Streets citywide! That means: safer bike lanes, faster buses, and more accessible bus boarding.

As in WBBM | CBS Chicago:

"The program uses cameras on CTA buses and city vehicles to snap photos of people either illegally standing or parked, blocking bike or bus lanes. The violators are then issued a warning; if it happens again, they receive a ticket and fine. According to the city, during the test phase of Smart Streets, 84% of drivers who got a warning never got in trouble again."

Why this matters for talent

Chicago's Smart Streets program, which uses Hayden AI technology on CTA buses to keep bike lanes clear, is expanding citywide. Hayden AI lists 15 open roles on the board. A citywide expansion of an existing municipal deployment is a solid signal of revenue and usage growth for Hayden AI, which can support continued hiring in deployment and public sector partnership roles even though the company's current headcount on the board is modest.
