City of Lewiston, Idaho, Selects RouteMatch Software to Automate Its Transportation Services

ATLANTA, GA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Aug 26, 2009 -- RouteMatch Software, Inc. today announced that The City of Lewiston selected RouteMatch TS™ software, its flagship intelligent transport system (ITS) software for automated routing, scheduling and coordination of the City's paratransit services.

The City of Lewiston will operate public transit in Lewiston, Idaho -- Idaho's only seaport -- delivering trips across Nez Perce and Asotin counties spanning two states, Idaho and Washington. The RouteMatch paratransit management system will accommodate their anticipated growth, supporting an increase in daily one-way trips without an increase in the number of vehicles or driver hours.

Everything from scheduling a ride to pick-ups and drop-offs will be easier, faster and more responsive. Riders will experience a First Class level of customer service and convenience when The City of Lewiston brings the new RouteMatch system on-line in October.

The City of Lewiston will also utilize RouteMatch's Notification Module™, an automated, telephone and texting-based system that will send out customer trip reminders, improving overall customer satisfaction and rider reducing no-shows while drastically improving The City's ROI.

With RouteMatch TS software, The City of Lewiston will experience the following features and functionality:

--  Dispatchers will be able to track vehicles from pick-up to drop-off
    using RouteMatch's GIS-based routing and scheduling engine.
    
--  Dispatchers can now handle multiple transportation requests from
    different providers and funding sources, leading to operational
    efficiencies, mileage reduction, and passenger per service hour efficiency
    increases.
    
--  Staff will enjoy easier data collection, reporting and record keeping,
    reducing administrative time.
    
--  The City can improve route productivity and reduce vehicle hours and
    miles, producing a return on investment that pays for itself within the
    first twelve to eighteen months of full deployment.
