ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - November 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."
