City of Billings Metropolitan Transit Turns to RouteMatch Software to Provide an Accessible and Dynamic Public Transit System
RouteMatch Software, Inc. today announced that it has been awarded a contract to provide its flagship transit software application, RouteMatch TS,(TM) to the City of Billings Metropolitan Transit (MET), a public provider of demand-response people transportation in Billings, Montana.
RouteMatch TS(TM) will handle the City of Billings' computer-aided registration, scheduling, and dispatching needs. RouteMatch has also proposed its Automated Vehicle Location (AVL)/Mobile Data Computers (MDCs) module for integration with Mentor Engineering, a leading provider of wireless technology systems.
The City of Billings chose RouteMatch's state-of-the-art transit technologies to improve its daily schedules and routes with integrated Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping capabilities. In addition, the City of Billings was looking for a powerful data management tool that could provide easy and accurate reporting capabilities.

The AVL/MDC module will provide the ability to locate and track vehicles, perform optimal vehicle dispatching, and maximize routing and scheduling efficiency.
"RouteMatch will offer a solution that will reduce the City of Billings' total cost of ownership for its ITS technologies," said Brent Conley, Western regional sales director.
