    Business Editors/Transportation Writers

    DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2007--Digital Recorders, Inc.
(DRI) (Nasdaq:TBUS), a digital communications technology leader in the
domestic and international public transportation and transit security
markets, announced today that its TwinVision na, Inc. (TVna)
subsidiary in Durham, N.C., has received a combined total of more than
$900,000 in orders for multi-color electronic destination sign systems
destined for California.

    Partial delivery of the orders is expected to occur during second
quarter 2007; the balance is expected to be delivered in third quarter
2007.

    "TVna is experiencing increased sales traction for TwinVision(R)
multi-color electronic destination sign systems within California,
where transit properties were among the first to embrace color
technology. TVna was a key supporter of our California transit
customers and the California Transit Association during the statewide
movement to enact legislation supporting the use of multi-colored
display systems on public transit vehicles. SB 1726 was signed into
state law by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on Sept. 30,
2006; it became effective on Jan. 1, 2007. Use of such multi-colored
display systems enhances and accelerates identification and
comprehension of the transit vehicle's served route. Thus, such
displays potentially improve throughput and transit system capacity
utilization. In these days of intense need to reduce the consumption
of fossil fuel and the need for imported oil, this is a small - yet
important - development toward 'thinking and acting green' to help
improve the environment," David L. Turney, the Company's Chairman,
President, and Chief Executive Officer, said.

    SECOND ANNUAL NATIONAL DUMP THE PUMP DAY

    On June 21, 2007, the American Public Transportation Association
(APTA) will sponsor the "Second Annual National Dump the Pump Day."
The day is dedicated to raising awareness that public transportation
helps improve the environment and conserve fuel. It also offers the
opportunity for people to beat the high price of gasoline and support
public transportation as an important travel option that helps reduce
dependence on foreign oil. Public transportation agencies from coast
to coast will join together to ask the public to park their cars and
ride public transportation instead.

    "We applaud APTA's efforts to educate everyone about the ways in
which the daily use of public transportation helps to improve the
environment. The roles our products play in and on public
transportation systems continue to be part of the answer for improving
energy efficiency, reducing the environmental damage created by
greenhouse gases, decreasing health issues caused by pollution, and
improving the overall quality of life. In short, we consider DRI
products to be at the very heart of thinking and acting green. Our
products also help to mitigate the risk and impact of terrorist
attacks and improve security. We believe that few, if any, small-cap
companies can lay claim to actively serving all of those very real
issues - on an international basis - with one family of products," Mr.
Turney said.

    APTA is a nonprofit international association of 1,600 member
organizations including public transportation systems; planning,
design, construction and finance firms; product and service providers;
academic institutions; and state associations and departments of
transportation. APTA members serve the public interest by providing
safe, efficient and economical public transportation services and
products. APTA members serve more than 90 percent of persons using
public transportation in the U.S. and Canada.

    Mr. Turney has been active in APTA for many years; he has served
on various legislative, business, and marketing committees, as well as
the association's top governing body.
