Aaron Antrim is a transit technology entrepreneur and advisor with 12 years of industry experience who founded and scaled Trillium, a Portland-based firm serving 350+ transit agencies across five continents and later guided its integration into Optibus. He led product, partnerships, and operations to build mission-driven tools like GTFS Manager, Transit Alerts, and GTFS-Flex, growing the company to $2.5M in annual revenue and $1M ARR before its acquisition. A co-founder of MobilityData and former RMI technical lead, he has driven GTFS/GBFS standards work, secured public and private partnerships including state DOTs and USDOT, and often translates technical standards into practical agency workflows.

An English BA by training, he pairs a communicative, policy-savvy approach with hands-on product leadership in the transit data ecosystem.
