TransCore
is a leading provider of comprehensive information technology
solutions to operators and users of surface transportation infrastructure
in targeted markets within the transportation industry. The
Company’s software, services and products are designed
to improve efficiencies for its customers, who are primarily
toll road authorities, state departments of transportation and
trucking companies and other shippers. TransCore utilizes
technology to capture, process and distribute data for its customers

Budgetary constraints on states,
legislation enabling interstate tolling, and increased demands
upon the capacity of existing infrastructure have all contributed
to the growth of the market. In addition, the increasing
importance of homeland security in light of heightened terrorist
activity and the persistent movement of illegal goods and individuals
across U.S. borders is creating a large opportunity for security
applications in both commercial and governmental technology applications.
