Case studies
Hundreds of governments run on CYVL ground truth.
From major DOTs to small rural towns, agencies across 30+ states use CYVL to assess their networks, plan capital work, and defend every dollar they spend.
Featured case study
How Buffalo turned data into a campaign promise kept.
Challenge
The “Pave It!” paving promise ran on sampled, outdated records — no way to show crews where the worst roads were.
Solution
CYVL scanned every street with survey-grade LiDAR and 360° imagery, auto-scoring each segment into one always-current citywide view.
Results
A data-backed paving plan: every street accounted for, repairs prioritized by real condition, and spending the city can defend.
All case studies
Different agencies. The same ground truth.

In their words
Trusted by the teams who use it every day.
“You guys saved me three or four years of collecting assets — in one run.”
“We present it as a pure, unbiased opinion. The program picked it out, not us.”
“If we have data to back up our decision, that's something residents can't argue against.”
“The CYVL data is a lot better than me driving around saying, 'yeah, this road's fine.'”
