RouteMatch Software Awarded ITS Contract for State of Tennessee

State of Tennessee Is Fourth Statewide ITS Contract for RouteMatch Software; State of Tennessee Department of Transportation Facilitates the Procurement of Advanced Transportation Software for Eleven Transit Agencies


ATLANTA, GA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- November 8, 2006 -- RouteMatch Software, Inc. today announced that it is the primary software vendor for the State of Tennessee's statewide Intelligent Transport System (ITS) initiative.

After a thorough evaluation and RFP process facilitated by TranSystems, the State of Tennessee Department of Transportation in cooperation with its state transportation agencies selected RouteMatch Software to provide advanced routing, scheduling and dispatching software, automated vehicle location (AVL) technology and support for mobile data terminals to achieve operational efficiencies and improved service through transportation coordination.

Mid-Cumberland Human Resource Agency (MCHRA), one of the eleven agencies represented under this contract, will be the first transit system to implement the new RouteMatch transportation software and receive training. Other agencies across the state can then "piggyback" on the same ITS contract and begin an implementation that fits their specific needs.

One of the leading rural providers in Tennessee, MCHRA procured this project for the state. "This is a great thing for Tennessee. Not only will public providers see greater efficiencies, but the clients we serve will see benefits as well," said Jeff Simpson, MCHRA's transportation director. "RouteMatch Software has proven itself to be the statewide ITS provider of choice."

"After several years of planning, we are very pleased that this statewide rural ITS deployment is underway," said Diane Davidson, director of TDOT's Division of Public Transit, Rail and Waterways. "It's clear that advanced technology will become the foundation that will enable providers to better serve the public, as well as to achieve a higher level of transportation service. RouteMatch's advanced software will allow our eleven rural transit systems, which collectively provide service in all the state's 95 counties, to achieve coordinated transportation service as they also maximize operational efficiencies."
