ATLANTA --(Business Wire)-- Aug. 9, 2005 -- - Recent contract between RouteMatch and Harford County allows other Maryland transportation providers such as Allegany to procure RouteMatch solutions based on Harford's software selection -

RouteMatch Software, Inc. today announced that it has been awarded a contract to provide its flagship transit software application, RouteMatch TS,(TM) to Allegany County Department of Public Works' Transportation Division. Allegany County is a rural public provider of demand-response transportation services in Cumberland, Maryland.



Per a recent agreement with Maryland-based Harford County Transportation, other city, county and state transit operators in Maryland - such as Allegany County - had the option to purchase or "piggyback" off of their contract with RouteMatch.
