8 facts for 8 years of Arity!

Where we started

Fact #1 – Arity was born out of the insurance industry

The Arity story begins with telematics. We were born out of the auto insurance industry with the purpose of collecting and measuring driving behavior data to price policies more accurately.

We have been trailblazing telematics since 2014, and we were founded to build upon Allstate Insurance’s telematics expertise – officially spinning out as our own company within The Allstate Corporation on November 10, 2016.

However, it wasn’t long before we realized our understanding of safety and risk on our roads has value beyond insurance.

Fact #2 – Arity embraced an urgent mission to change transportation

Once the Arity team realized the potential impact we could make driving change with driving data, we embarked on a new mission. With a continuous connection to drivers, a massive driving behavior dataset, and exclusive access to claims records, we were in a unique position to deliver unparalleled insights related to safety and risk on our roads.

So, we broadened our scope and built on our founding expertise with a new, urgent mission to make transportation smarter, safer, and more useful for everyone.

Where we are now

Fact #3 – Arity has collected nearly 2 trillion miles of driving data

Arity has come a long way since 2016. We’ve expanded our connections (via mobile app and connected car partnerships), our dataset, and our suite of solutions – all of which help us get closer to achieving our mission.

In 2022, we celebrated reaching one trillion miles of driving data collected. Today, we’re nearing 2 trillion miles with our dataset growing by more than one billion miles every single day.

Fact #4 – Arity uncovers unique driving behavior insights

With the largest driving behavior dataset tied to insurance claims, we can look into trends across the U.S., whether that’s on a national, state, city, or zip code level – and we can get even more granular than that with insights into specific streets or road segments.

All in all, we’re striving to uncover insights that help people get from point A to point B in a safer, more efficient way. In our most recent data report, we highlighted how dangerous driving behaviors have risen since the COVID-19 pandemic.

This report is just one example of how we pull insights from our extensive dataset. As holidays, special events, and unexpected incidents disrupt “normal” travel patterns, our team dives into the data and uncovers new insights to help people, businesses, and government agencies effectively navigate those shifts.

Fact #5 – Arity solutions span the entire transportation ecosystem

Our suite of solutions empowers our partners to innovate their industries while transforming transportation. We help –

• Auto insurance carriers price policies based on actual driving behaviors, which incentivizes risky drivers to make safer decisions behind the wheel.
• Marketers reach customers with personalized messaging based on how, when, and where they drive.
• Mobile apps become an essential app, providing valuable features – like crash detection – to connect with users in a meaningful way.
• Transportation planners form a complete picture of road risk for safer, data-driven infrastructure.

Fact #6 – Arity is a best-in-class partner and workplace

Over the years, Arity has continued to be recognized as a top partner and workplace. Last year, we landed a spot on Inc. Magazine’s Power Partner Awards list which recognizes top B2B companies across the globe. We were also ranked in the list of Global Top 100 Inspiring Workplaces for 2024.

“Arity, your submission showcases a strong commitment to leveraging data not just for the sake of business, but with the noble aim of transforming transportation for a smarter, safer, and more inclusive future. The embodiment of this vision within every layer of your company culture, from the individual employee to the wider community impact, is both impressive and commendable.” – Inspiring Workplaces Judge

Where we are going

Fact #7 – Arity has big plans for the future of mobility

While Arity has come a long way in eight years, our journey to a smarter, safer, and more useful way to navigate the world has just begun. We recognize that transportation is fundamentally broken, and that it will take a collective effort across the mobility data ecosystem to change it.

To further this mission, we hosted the inaugural Arity Insights event in 2024, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss challenges, share ideas, and uncover new opportunities. While we made significant progress, we plan to continue to further momentum as a more cohesive, unified ecosystem.

Fact # 8 – Arity commits to living into “The Arity Way”

At the end of the day, it’s our team members and our partners who make our mission possible. So, it’s important to us to be the best for both. This year, we officially put into practice The Arity Way, which encompasses our culture, our values, and our employee value proposition (EVP).

While our culture defines who we are and our EVP is what we promise to employees, our values serve as our north star – guiding how we make decisions, think strategically, and collaborate with each other and with our partners:

1. We are stronger as a team: We accept the differing perspectives of each other and assume positive intent in how we interact and deliver as a team.
2. We value continuous progress: We believe that fast optimization is better than slow perfection, and we prioritize bringing new ideas to market quickly and refine as we move forward.
3. We focus on customers: We drive the best results for our customers, partners, and end users because only together can we improve mobility.
4. We take ownership for collective results: We understand our successes and failures are interlinked, so we hold ourselves and each other accountable to deliver on our goals.

We’re committed to these four values because we know that together, living into The Arity Way, we can create powerful change. Want to join us in driving the future of mobility? Follow us on LinkedIn to stay up to date with Team Arity.
