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."
