Rekor Systems Chosen For Multi-Year Statewide Contract By Texas Department Of Transportation

Rekor Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:REKR) (the "Company"), a leader in developing and implementing state-of-the-art roadway intelligence technology, today announced it has been selected for a multi-year statewide contract by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The award approves the implementation of Rekor Command®— the Company's advanced incident management and situational awareness platform, to enhance traffic operations, reduce congestion, and improve roadway safety. It includes an eight-figure blanket purchase order that pre-authorizes all TxDOT metropolitan, urban, and rural districts to immediately adopt the technology.

Texas operates the largest state-maintained roadway network in the United States, with over 80,000 miles of highways. As population growth and traffic volumes accelerate, particularly in six of the ten fastest-growing counties in the nation, TxDOT faces increasing pressure to enhance roadway operations, reduce congestion, and improve safety outcomes. Texas has consistently led the nation in adopting cutting-edge transportation technologies, from smart infrastructure to real-time data systems, making it an ideal state for deploying Rekor's next-generation platform at scale.

TxDOT Director of Strategy and Innovation Darran Anderson stated, "We look forward to continuing our partnership with Rekor to expand the deployment and use of advanced roadway insights powered by big data and intelligent systems to help address safety and congestion across Texas." 

Rekor Command® has already demonstrated success in Texas. Initially deployed by the TxDOT Austin District two years ago, the platform underwent an extended, data-driven evaluation that confirmed major operational improvements, including:

• 159% increase in incident detection
• 8.4-minute reduction in median incident detection time
• 83% incident detection accuracy
• 44-minute reduction in incident clearance time
• 29% reduction in secondary crashes
  Rekor Command® unifies disparate data sources into a single, AI-powered platform that enhances situational awareness, supports faster decision-making, and improves resource allocation. Replacing an array of diverse and fragmented tools with a single platform that delivers real-time insights and powerful decision support enables transportation agencies to proactively manage roads, allocate resources efficiently, and respond faster to incidents.

Under this expanded contract, TxDOT will also deploy several new features, including:

• Traffic Impact Module – A first-of-its-kind decision support tool that uses AI to assess and visualize how incidents affect traffic flow in real-time and provide real-time insights to operators for proactive and strategic operations, faster response times, and improved traffic safety, ultimately enhancing overall network performance.
• Work Zone API – Enhances safety by delivering accurate, real-time insights into work zone activity, improving visibility for TxDOT operators and the public. The platform also integrates with the USDOT FHWA's Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx), enabling standardized, open data sharing across local and national systems to support broader safety and mobility goals. By making critical work zone information more accessible and actionable, the platform supports safer construction zones, enhances roadway travel time reliability, and strengthens agency coordination.

Rekor Command® will also continue to serve as the data backbone for TxDOT's Construction Partnership Program (CPP), a foundational data layer for improving regional collaboration, public communication, and traffic management. With this statewide expansion, Rekor's role within the CPP will grow to support additional objectives, most notably by powering the CTX-GO mobile application. Built on real-time data streams from the Rekor platform, CTX-GO delivers timely, unified information to travelers, contractors, and public agencies, ensuring enhanced situational awareness and seamless coordination across Texas's growing infrastructure network.

This contract reinforces Rekor's growing role as a trusted partner to large-scale transportation agencies. As Texas modernizes its infrastructure, Rekor Command® will help drive smarter, safer, and more resilient roadways across the state.
