ITEM 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On January 24, 2006, Digital Recorders, Inc. announced that, according to the
American Public Transportation Association (APTA), national transit ridership
increased 3.3 percent during third quarter 2005 over the same period in 2004.
APTA attributes the high price of gas as the primary driver of the national
transit ridership increase. While previous national transit ridership increases
based upon gas prices have proven to be temporary, preliminary numbers indicate
that this increase is holding even as gas prices have fallen from recent highs.
A copy of the Company's press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference. This Form 8-K and the attached exhibit are
furnished to, but not filed with, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
