                 DRI Corporation Slates First Quarter
                 Investor Meetings and Media Outreach


    DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 20, 2007--DRI Corporation (DRI)
(NASDAQ: TBUS), a digital communications technology leader in the
domestic and international surface transportation and transit security
markets, announced today its plans for meetings with investors and
potential investors, as well as media outreach, in first quarter 2008.

    "Our products and services for the surface transportation,
mobility and security markets make us a unique story on Wall Street,
in our opinion. We believe that few, if any, small-cap companies can
lay claim to serving several very real issues -- such as improving
energy efficiency, reducing environmental damage created by greenhouse
gases, decreasing health issues caused by pollution, mitigating the
risk and impact of terrorist attacks, and enhancing security -- with
one family of products. Our 2008 investor relations activities are an
important element of building shareholder awareness and should help us
share the Company's message with groups of interested financial
professionals from around the world," David L. Turney, the Company's
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said.

    The slate of meeting dates and cities follows:

    --  January 14, 2008, San Diego;

    --  January 15, 2008, Los Angeles;

    --  February 11, 2008, Frankfurt, Germany;

    --  February 15, 2008, Stockholm, Sweden;

    --  March 3-4, 2008, New York; and

    --  March 11-12, 2008, Washington, D.C.

    During these meetings, Mr. Turney plans to discuss the Company's
planned growth and long-term outlook. His presentation will include
discussions of products, markets, technology and operating plans.

    The Company also will participate in formal conferences from time
to time and will release additional details about such as presentation
dates draw near. Additionally, in the first quarter, the Company will
post to its Web site the presentation media that will be used during
the meetings and conferences.
