The Transportation Channel aims to be the first digital network dedicated to transportation news and information. It will provide 24/7 live streaming and on-demand video content about transportation topics across the US. There is currently no media outlet focused solely on transportation, which is a $1.2 trillion industry. The network will generate revenue through advertising on its streaming platforms and apps to reach the 109 million US households that use streaming services. It is seeking $15 million in funding to launch the minimum viable product and expand programming.
