Former United States Secretary of Transportation to Advise as Company Rapidly
Expands

WASHINGTON, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- ITS AMERICA -- Aldis, Inc., a leader in
next-generation traffic management systems, announced today that former United
States Secretary of Transportation Mary E. Peters has been elected to the
Aldis Board of Directors. Bill Malkes, officer and co-founder, announced
Peters' election on behalf of the board.

"She will help raise the profile of the company's next-generation traffic
control technology among leading transportation officials," stated Malkes.
"This is a perfect fit for everyone involved," Malkes continued. "Secretary
Peters urged the greater use of technology to fight traffic congestion when
she was in Washington, D.C., and making our transportation network more
efficient and cost-effective, which is what Aldis is all about."

Peters commented that the Aldis technology makes sense, especially as cities
and towns are facing shrinking budgets.

"We can't pave our way out of this problem of congestion," Peters said.
"Technology like that being developed and implemented by Aldis represents our
best chance to keep people and products moving. These systems are easier to
install, require less maintenance, and cost less than conventional video
detection systems. They are designed to save transportation managers money
and, more importantly, motorists time by making intersections more efficient."

Peters served as the nation's 15th transportation chief from October 2006
until January 2009. She lives in Peoria, AZ.
