About Us

Circuit is transforming how cities move by providing clean, efficient, and flexible last-mile transit services using electric vehicles (EVs). We partner with municipalities, transit agencies, and private companies to bridge the gap between public transit hubs and residents’ final destinations—reducing congestion, emissions, and transportation inequity through scalable electric mobility solutions. We're looking for strategic thinkers who thrive on building meaningful partnerships that make a real impact.
