192 RouteMatch Software has been selected by 4181 Nebraska Department of Roads (NDoR) to become the state's primary ITS partner, providing a standardised and integrated passenger transportation management technology platform for 13 Nebraska rural public and tribal transit agencies. The technologies address NDoR's primary goals of improving mobility management and creating seamless, consistent transit coordination amongst these agencies. The RouteMatch partnership will also allow NDoR to closely facilitate paratransit services with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services and other non-emergency medical providers.

RouteMatch and NDoR's statewide initiative will help synergise operational efforts amongst the state's widely dispersed transit programmes, many which are doubly challenged with having only one to three vehicles at their disposal and only one administrator onsite. Transit agencies will be able to more efficiently optimise their existing resources and provide a more reliable transit experience for regional customers. The transit agencies will also be able to simplify their coordination efforts through automated scheduling and dispatching of vehicles, improved tracking of services, and overall improved public transportation planning and reporting.
