COLUMBIA, Md. , July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rekor Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: REKR) (the "Company), a leader in developing and implementing state-of-the-art roadway intelligence technology, today announced the extension of its Rekor Command® contract with the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (Mobility Authority). The $1.4 million, 5-year agreement reflects the Mobility Authority's ongoing commitment to evaluate and deploy advanced technologies to enhance incident detection, accelerate response times, and improve roadway safety across Central Texas toll roads.

Initially placed in service in 2021, Rekor Command® serves as a powerful force multiplier for the Mobility Authority's Traffic Incident Management team, delivering real-time insights and enabling seamless coordination across one of the busiest tolling networks in the region. The Mobility Authority currently operates 60 miles of heavily traveled toll roads—with more mileage being added as new projects come online—and has consistently prioritized the need for faster, more comprehensive visibility into roadway activity.

"At the end of the day, Rekor Command® has made our operators' lives easier," said Fabiola Bowers, Assistant Director of Operations – Traffic and Safety for the Mobility Authority. "They work hundreds of incidents a month, so if we can make their days easier with a platform that's easy to use, it means something. Additionally, the ability to detect quickly means we can provide help to the people involved in the incident more quickly, clear incidents more efficiently, and get people on their way more quickly. That assists not only the individuals involved in the incident, but also those driving through the area. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about. Keeping people safe and moving."

Proven Results Driving Continued Investment
The Mobility Authority's implementation of Rekor Command® has produced measurable results, including:

  • 324% increase in incident detection
  • 11-minute faster average response time
  • 641 incidents detected monthly, on average
  • Seamless integration with public notification systems and multi-agency collaboration
  • Advanced analytics that identify high-risk areas for proactive safety interventions

The contract incorporates enhanced features such as:

  • Driver Connect: Enables bi-directional communication with drivers and delivers real-time road condition updates directly to vehicles.
  • Traffic Impact : AI-powered predictive insights, allowing the Mobility Authority to identify severe incidents and respond more quickly and effectively to traffic impacts and incidents

Rekor Command®: Powering the Future of Toll Road Operations
Fast and accurate incident detection, response, and resolution are critical. The Mobility Authority's renewed investment underscores the value Rekor brings to this customer segment, which is increasingly focused on delivering safer, smarter, and more responsive roadway infrastructure.

Rekor Command® enables toll road operators to move beyond traditional incident management. The platform provides real-time situational awareness, advanced analytics, and seamless coordination tools, transforming how traffic operations teams monitor roadways, respond to emergencies, and engage with the public.

Supporting Regional Growth with Smarter Tools
With over 35 major infrastructure projects planned across Central Texas through 2032, the Mobility Authority and its regional partners, including the TxDOT Austin District, launched the Construction Partnership Program (CPP). Rekor Command®, along with Rekor's Incident Detection API and Work Zone Activity API, will support CPP's mission to reduce congestion, improve safety, and coordinate across agencies during this historic development phase.

"Motivation among toll road authorities is especially high - drivers are paying for a premium service, and agencies are determined to deliver exceptional roadway performance and reliability. The Mobility Authority's continued partnership is a testament to Rekor Command's impact and momentum," said Paul Mathew Zamsky, General Manager of Rekor Command®. "CTRMA's leadership demonstrates how public tolling and transportation agencies can innovate to improve safety and mobility at scale. We're proud to be their technology partner."
