Iteris Awarded $1.2 Million Transportation Performance Management Task Order from National Highway Institute

Iteris, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ITI), a leader in providing intelligent traffic management and weather information solutions, was awarded a $1.2 million task order from the National Highway Institute (NHI) to train agencies across the country with the deployment of performance-based programs that enhance infrastructure investment decisions. This three-year task order is part of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded to Iteris (News - Alert) in December 2013.

Under this task order, Iteris will help transportation agencies with the various elements of Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) requirements and assist with the implementation of performance measures into their existing planning processes. These programs assist federal, state, and local agencies to comply with MAP-21 performance management provisions.

"This new task order further reflects our position as a national leader in Transportation performance management and monitoring," said Abbas Mohaddes, president and CEO of Iteris. "In 2011, we began the initiative to strategically improve performance monitoring and enhance the investment decision-making process. Since then, we have assisted several state DOTs and local agencies with setting targets, measuring performance, and analyzing and reporting various conditions. We plan to help the NHI reach out to even more agencies across the country and assist with the development of their performance monitoring programs. In this leadership role, we expect to be well-positioned to continue providing our suite of performance monitoring and measurement software solutions to agencies across the country."

MAP-21 is a policy signed into law in 2012 that funds surface transportation programs with over $105 billion through May 2015. Under MAP-21, state DOTs and Metropolitan Planning Organizations are required to develop performance-based plans and programs for asset management and safety. Once MAP-21 provisions are fully implemented, FHWA will be in a better position to communicate the performance of the transportation network throughout the country and the impact of federal funds.
