COLUMBIA, Md., Oct. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rekor Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: REKR) ("Rekor" or the "Company"), a leader in developing and implementing state-of-the-art roadway intelligence technology, today announced that the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), two of the largest transportation agencies in the United States, are now actively using Rekor Discover® through initial installations that pave the way for wider deployment.

These deployments follow the recent announcement that the Company has secured its , which has the potential to generate a total contract value of over $100 million. Georgia DOT’s award highlights the valuable role Rekor’s Discover® has played as part of the Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) model it has pioneered with Georgia DOT over the past decade and confirms its ability to meet the increasingly rigorous demand for modern, non-intrusive traffic data that is reliable, scalable, and fully compliant with federal reporting standards. Rekor Discover® provides agencies with traffic counts, classification, and weigh-in-motion data, along with planning, operational, and safety insights offered as a managed service. This GDOT award validates the value of its experience with Discover® and is expected to accelerate the adoption of Rekor technologies by other state departments of transportation.

“Caltrans and TxDOT are two of the most influential DOTs in the country,” said Mark Phillips, General Manager at Rekor, “Their experience with Rekor Discover® should provide a clear path to expand, from initial deployment to statewide programs. The DaaS approach speeds up time to value, improves safety for field teams, and provides agencies with trusted data for planning, funding, and daily operations.”
