Patrice Davenport writes a post for the Eno Center for Transportation identifying the "Top 10 Private Sector Disrupters in Transportation." Eno partnered with Shared Mobility Strategies, LLC to create the list, defining disruptors as innovators "leveraging mobile technologies to accelerate productivity, profitability and operations and "building the foundation for a new generation of technologies that will enable enterprises to connect devices across a centralized cloud network, and capture and share mission-critical data."

The list focuses on actual people, instead of the companies they work for. There are some famous names (both people and companies) on the list, but also a lot to discover on the list.
