VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 30, 2012) -Webtech Wireless Inc. (TSX:WEW), a leading provider of vehicle fleet location-based services (LBS) and telematics technology, today announced that it has signed a three-year contract with CyRide of Ames, Iowa to implement a NextBus Real-Time Passenger Information System (RTPIS) for all of its 80 buses.

CyRide will equip all buses on its 17 routes with Webtech Wireless Locators, and four 24-inch LED signs are being installed on campus where riders can view real-time bus information, (as well as important updates on routes, such as delays, rerouting, and other urgent alerts). The NextBus implementation also includes Apple^® iPads enabling CyRide managers access to management-side NextBus information while on the road themselves, and with a view to the near future, CyRide is purchasing XML data feeds to provide the capability for building custom software applications (such as iPhone Apps).

Funded jointly by the City of Ames and Iowa State University, CyRide provides a "fare-free" service that allows students to pay for ridership per semester. This system accounts for 40 percent of the bus system's operating budget. "Implementing a real-time predictive transit solution is the most requested technical upgrade from students, and as the project is funded in part by the student body, we're especially excited to give them what they're asking for," said Barbara Neal, Operations Supervisor for CyRide. The three-year contract is expected to help CyRide's fleet continue to service its expanding ridership (already growing at a rate of 30 percent per year).

"We're very excited to be working with the CyRide on this important project, and applaud their vision to implement the NextBus bus transit solution, which is increasingly popular on university campuses. Faculty, staff, and IU students are now within easy reach of real-time transit information," said Scott Edmonds, President and CEO of Webtech Wireless.
