Driving the Future: How Circuit is Powering Microtransit with Alex Esposito and Jason Bagley

In this episode of the Palm Beach North Podcast, we sit down with Alex Esposito, Co-Founder and CEO, and Jason Bagley, Partner, at Circuit. Known for their eye-catching electric shuttles across Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, and beyond, Circuit is redefining short-distance transit. Alex and Jason share how they turned a seasonal shuttle concept into a national network of 100% electric, on-demand microtransit solutions designed to reduce congestion, create jobs, and make downtowns more connected.

From launching in the Hamptons and Fort Lauderdale to now serving 45+ cities, the duo reflects on how Circuit has evolved through strong public-private partnerships, localized service models, and a deep commitment to sustainability and equity. They also give us a look at what’s next—including autonomous vehicle pilots and expanded regional coverage.

Topics Covered:

- Circuit’s founding story and growth across Florida and the U.S.

- How microtransit bridges the first/last-mile gap

- Innovative public-private funding models for local transit

- Environmental impact and equity in underserved communities

- Collaborations with cities, special districts, and major events

- The future of urban mobility, from smart routing to AV technology

- Community hiring, driver ambassadors, and local economic impact
