RouteMatch Wins ITS Contract for the State of Idaho
Statewide contract awarded for advanced transportation
software;
Transportation providers will see increased efficiency and improved
customer service
ATLANTA, GA (Nov. 1, 2010) - RouteMatch
Software, Inc. today announced that it has been awarded a contract
to provide transportation software throughout the state of Idaho.
The statewide contract will allow rural and small-urban
transportation providers to improve their efficiency and
productivity by using RouteMatch's state-of-the-art technology for
fixed-route and demand-response routing, scheduling, dispatching
and vehicle tracking.
The solution also provides innovative new approaches to delivering
information to passengers and helping reduce no-shows. The
RouteMatch system includes paratransit scheduling and dispatch
modules, as well as fixed-route scheduling, CAD/AVL and customer
information components. Two of the sites, Pocatello and Sun Valley,
will also have real-time passenger information displayed on screens
and LEDs at stops and transfer centers.
"Systems and programs that improve the customer experience as well
as improve operational efficiencies and performance are a high
priority in Idaho. The RouteMatch suite of products was a great fit
for Idaho's mix of rural and small urban communities" said Randy
Kyrias, Idaho Transportation Department Division of Public
Transportation administrator.
The contract, awarded through a competitive process, also includes
the purchase of mobile data terminals (MDTs) that will show drivers
where to pick-up and drop-off passengers. The data will be received
on mounted terminals in the vehicles or through Blackberry mobile
devices supplied to the drivers as a part of this procurement.
RouteMatch Software has become the vendor of choice for statewide
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) programs. Tennessee, South
Carolina, Indiana and North Carolina are among those that have
purchased RouteMatch software in recent years to raise productivity
and reporting standards across rural agencies.
"RouteMatch's roots are delivering advanced scheduling software to
rural agencies and understanding the special needs that they have,"
said Tim Quinn, executive vice president of RouteMatch Software.
"Our solution not only delivers to the state DOTs the data and
reporting they need, but also provides an easy-to-use application
with excellent training and customer support to the rural agencies
for a viable, long-term technology solution."
