27 Ways Omni Public is Part of Shaping the Future

#OmniFuture

At Omni Public we work with the brightest minds in the world and we are extremely grateful to work alongside brilliant people grinding on world-changing ideas. Here are some of the projects we are engaged in that will shape the future.?

1) Hyperloop Transportation Technologies? | LA?

Hyperloop Transportation Technolgies will transform the world. Team Omni Public has been working to introduce the technology to the SouthEast United States since 2017, and throughout the last year Hyperloop Technology has made tremendous progress. Together, we worked on developing the first ever advanced mobility study for the Tampa Bay Region and now, Hyperloop Technology received federal approval allowing government agencies to seek funds to develop Hyperloop Projects in their regions. We are currently continuing work on a feasibility study for the State of Florida that can connect Tampa Bay to either Atlanta or Miami.?

2) Electric Rideshare? | NYC

In 2017 we developed the world's first Public Private Partnership with Tesla Motors and a government Agency.

Here is a case study of the work we did.
