"We are pleased to receive this long-term commitment to provide repair and maintenance services to the State of New York. IRD has participated in similar traffic data services agreements with the NYSDOT over the past ten years, and we look forward to continuing this relationship and delivering value to this long term customer," commented Terry Bergan, IRD's president and CEO. "As states become more aware of their need for high quality traffic information, the demand for these services continues to grow. This agreement further strengthens our long term maintenance strategy to grow and expand our data management and field services market."
