                DRI Corporation Notes Findings in Texas
         Transportation Institute's Transit Congestion Report


    DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 26, 2007--DRI Corporation (DRI)
(NASDAQ: TBUS), a digital communications technology leader in the
domestic and international surface transportation and transit security
markets, noted today that the Texas Transportation Institute's (TTI)
recent transit congestion report, "The 2007 Urban Mobility Report,"
indicates public transportation is a proven strategy that helps
alleviate traffic congestion and saves energy in U.S. urban areas.

    According to the TTI report, in the 437 urban areas studied in
2005, public transportation saved approximately 541 million hours in
travel time and approximately 340 million gallons in fuel. Without
public transportation, congestion costs would have been higher that
year by approximately $10.2 billion.

    "Traffic congestion is a waste of precious resources. We remain
resolute in our commitment to assist public transit authorities'
ongoing efforts to reduce traffic congestion. Through our Digital
Recorders(R), TwinVision(R) and Mobitec(R) transit communications and
transit security products and technologies, we are capable of helping
public transit authorities in their quest to improve the mobility,
flow, safety and security of their transit fleets and passengers,"
David L. Turney, the Company's Chairman, President, and Chief
Executive Officer, said.

    TTI is part of The Texas A&M University System. TTI's mission is
to solve transportation problems through research, to transfer
technology, and to develop diverse human resources to meet the
transportation challenges of tomorrow. For more information, go to
