TransCore Awarded Contract to Convert Utah Department of Transportation`s I-15 Express Lanes to an Electronic Payment System

HARRISBURG, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has selected TransCore to convert the
existing Interstate 15 Express Lanes decal system to an electronic, radio
frequency identification (RFID)-based payment system. This type of system is the
first in Utah.

The contract encompasses system design, installation, integration, Encompass 6®
multiprotocol RFID readers and the new RFID-based eZGo Anywhere HOT/HOV
transponders. The contract is valued at approximately $16 million, which
includes a 9-year maintenance option. Installation is scheduled for completion
by fall of 2010.

The new electronic payment system will enable UDOT to dynamically adjust the
pricing based on traffic conditions. Motorists pay only for their actual usage
of the lane instead of the fixed fee for a monthly decal. This system will help
UDOT to further reduce congestion and travel times in all lanes.

The dynamic pricing system is built around a traffic-condition algorithm.
Software collects traffic flow data from the Express and general-purpose lanes
to calculate a price that optimally matches demand. The algorithm will use data
provided by UDOT`s TransSuite traffic management system, supplied by TransCore
under a previous contract.

"TransCore`s traffic engineering experience, particularly within Utah, and our
knowledge implementing every aspect of electronic toll collection systems, from
system integration to manufacturing RFID technology, allows us to speed the
implementation process for UDOT," said John Simler, president of TransCore`s
Intelligent Transportation Systems Group.

TransCore is a pioneer in the development of dynamic pricing systems. TransCore
will serve as the prime contractor for UDOT with other members of the team
including Gerber Construction, Sorenson Companies, HDR Engineering, and
Chatfield Construction Company. TransCore has supported UDOT over the past 14
years, serving as their ITS Systems Manager as UDOT developed and installed an
advanced traffic management system.
