Rekor to Deliver Safety Alerts to Oregon Drivers statewide

COLUMBIA, Md., Sept. 30, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Rekor Systems, Inc., a provider of AI-powered roadway intelligence, has been awarded a $1.4 million contract by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to deliver safety alerts directly to drivers statewide. The anticipated value is $1.4 million over five years, subject to final contract negotiations and annual renewals after year two.

This award builds on Rekor's existing Driver Connect deployment within the Las Vegas metropolitan region, which has already delivered more than 1.18 million in-vehicle alerts across the Las Vegas metro area. The planned program will bring Rekor Command® and its Driver Connect feature to a statewide deployment, connecting ODOT's traffic information directly to drivers.

Under the program, ODOT will transmit safety alerts to vehicles through separate, independent feeds from Rekor and any other selected vendors, helping reach more drivers across Oregon. The alerts will be delivered through supported factory-installed vehicle displays, navigation apps including Apple Maps and Waze, and electronic logging device platforms for commercial vehicles. No roadside hardware or aftermarket devices will be required, and no new app for drivers to download will be necessary.

The planned service will extend ODOT's safety messaging beyond fixed roadside signs, including along rural highways where installing and maintaining dynamic message signs is costly. Alerts will operate where cellular coverage and supported vehicle or navigation platforms are available.

For Rekor, the proposed Oregon program represents a multi-year opportunity to expand adoption of Driver Connect and Rekor Command®. The company expects to extend these capabilities to additional state and regional agencies seeking broader driver alert coverage through active connected vehicle and navigation networks.
