NOTE: The company is a large one — it counted about $350 million in adjusted revenue in 2017 — but its name might not ring a bell.
According to https://www.govtech.com/biz on 22 Oct 2018, that's because, up until June 2018, it was known as American Traffic Solutions.
Under that brand, it built big market positions in its respective areas of work and integrated its technology with all but a couple tolling authorities in the U.S.
Though the majority of its business is in the private sector, Verra’s government work includes red light cameras, speeding cameras and handheld radar guns for law enforcement. . .
It’s actually the second government-serving tech company to announce that it was going public since the beginning of September — it followed an announcement that six gov tech companies were merging into GTY Holdings.
And like in the GTY Holdings deal, Verra Mobility followed the “blank check company” approach to going public. That is, the company didn’t have its own initial public offering. Rather, a special purpose acquisition company called Gores Holdings II was created and filed for an IPO a while ago, and that company then bought Verra, making it a public company.
