Rekor Systems secures $16.8 million contract with Oklahoma District Attorneys Council as technology partner for statewide Uninsured Vehicle Enforcement program. Rekor. COLUMBIA, Md., May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Rekor Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: REKR) ("Rekor" or the "Company"), a leader in developing and implementing cutting-edge roadway intelligence systems, today announced it has reached an agreement in principle with the Oklahoma District Attorneys Council (OKDAC) to continue as the technology partner for its Uninsured Vehicle Enforcement Diversion (UVED) Program. The agreement, subject to final contract negotiations, carries a total value of $16.8 million over a multi-year term. According to the latest data from the Insurance Information Institute, the state now ranks 27th nationally in uninsured motorist rates - placing it in the bottom half of all states and marking a dramatic reversal from the mid-2010s, when Oklahoma and Florida vied for the worst uninsured driving rates in the country. "Oklahoma went from the worst in the nation to the middle of the pack," said Amanda Arnall Couch, director of the UVED Program. "That's a combination of smart policy, disciplined execution, and keeping the focus on public safety." Since 2020, Rekor has been the operational backbone of this progress. Authorized under Oklahoma statute, the Company's vehicle recognition sensors are deployed statewide, capture vehicle data, and cross-reference it with the Oklahoma Insurance Verification System. When an uninsured vehicle is identified, the owner receives a notice with photographic evidence and a clear compliance path: obtain liability insurance, pay an enrollment fee, and maintain insurance coverage for two years. The program diverts cases from the court system, easing the burden on law enforcement and the judiciary while delivering measurable public safety outcomes. The contract comes as the national uninsured driving crisis deepens. A recent U.S. News & World Report analysis found that the number of states where more than 20 percent of drivers lack insurance doubled from 2022 to 2023. Oklahoma's sustained improvement, achieved through Rekor's technology, directly counters that trend. "This contract reflects more than a business relationship. It reflects confidence in what Rekor's technology has delivered since we began this work in 2020," said Charles. Degliomini, Executive Vice President, Rekor Systems. "We built this program in partnership with the Oklahoma District Attorneys Council, and the results are documented. Oklahoma drivers are safer and better protected because of it. We are proud to carry that work forward." Uninsured driving shifts enormous financial risk onto responsible motorists. When an uninsured driver causes a collision, insured drivers bear the cost through higher premiums, out-of-pocket expenses, and uncompensated losses. The Insurance Research Council estimates that uninsured motorist claims cost the insurance industry billions of dollars annually nationwide. The multi-year agreement deepens Rekor's presence in the public safety and compliance technology market. It adds a significant, long-term recurring revenue stream to the Company's growing portfolio of state and municipal contracts. About Rekor Systems, Inc. Rekor Systems, Inc.

Oklahoma launches Safe Actions Save Lives campaign to promote work zone safety. Apr 8, 2026 The Oklahoma Department of Transportation and the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority announced on April 8 a statewide campaign called Safe Actions Save Lives, aiming to improve safety in highway work zones during the busy spring and summer construction season. The campaign highlights the importance of driver awareness as more than 130 active work zones are expected across Oklahoma this summer. Officials say simple actions like slowing down, staying alert, avoiding distractions, and buckling up can prevent crashes and save lives for both workers and drivers. Transportation Secretary and ODOT Director Tim Gatz launched the initiative at an April 6 commission meeting by reading a proclamation from Governor Kevin Stitt declaring April 20-24 as Oklahoma Work Zone Awareness Week. OTA Chief Engineer Trent January read the same proclamation at an April 7 board meeting. As part of the effort, new public service announcements will share stories from workers in construction zones. "Work zones are essential to maintaining and improving Oklahoma's transportation system, but they also require extra caution from drivers," said ODOT Chief Engineer TJ Dill. "By putting away distractions, slowing down and staying focused behind the wheel, every driver can help protect the men and women working on our roads and ensure everyone makes it home safely." Officials report that seventy-four ODOT and OTA employees have died while working in these areas. Many crashes are caused by inattentive driving or speeding through construction sites. "As the ACCESS Oklahoma long-range plan continues to expand, drivers will see more work zones along the state's turnpikes this summer," said January. "Work zone safety depends on everyone. Choosing to slow down, put the phone away and follow posted signs can prevent serious crashes and save lives." Events throughout April include Go Orange for Work Zone Safety Day on April 22 - encouraging people to wear orange - and landmarks glowing orange across several cities that evening. A moment of silence is planned for April 30 to honor fallen workers. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation promotes economic development through reliable transportation networks and encourages public involvement in decisions according to its official website. The agency focuses on maintaining highways, bridges, railways, waterways, public transit systems according to its official website, extends operations across all counties for planning and maintenance according to its official website, provides services such as project planning resources for contractors along with traffic data management tools according to its official website, and operates as a state agency handling planning engineering operations as detailed on its official website. ODOT District 3 safety manager Bart Tschacher encouraged all residents: "ODOT and OTA encourage all Oklahomans to support work zone safety this April by making responsible choices behind the wheel."

Custom Route 66 badges added to 50 Oklahoma locations. by McKenna Worsham Fri, April 3, 2026 at 12:41 PM Updated Fri, April 3, 2026 at 12:43 PM Route 66 Oklahoma Custom Badges (Photo provided by Oklahoma Department of Transportation) OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) - The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Oklahoma Department of Commerce launched a new statewide pavement making project along historic U.S. Route 66. These pavement markings will serve as a tribute to the historical route that has shaped Oklahoma's story, as well as America's westward journey. The project is set to enhance ground visibility of the historic and iconic route, ahead of the Centennial celebration for the travelers expected to drive on the route this coming year. In 50 locations across the state of Oklahoma, 100 official Route 66 pavement markings will be installed. Each different location will feature the iconic Route 66 badge and will have customizations to reflect its community, with the location displayed at the top of the emblem. This week, work on these markings began in Bristow and will continue across Oklahoma, set to be complete by the end of April, if the Oklahoma weather permits. Both OKC and Tulsa will have four markings, with more sites distributed across Route 66. This project costs $341,000, made possible by 2024 grant funding from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce. ODOT also made a significant contribution of $91,000 to help complete the project. Additional communities interested in Route 66 pavement markings beyond the 50 pre-selected locations can apply here, though applicants will be responsible for the funding of the markings. Oklahomans are advised to be mindful of lane closures or traffic delays, during the time it will take for the completion of the pavement installations. Drivers in Oklahoma are encouraged to stay alert and use caution to ensure safety. This initiative is a highly coordinated effort to create high visibility for Route 66 identifiers across the state, as Oklahoma has the most drivable miles of the iconic route, enhancing the need for the pavement markings.
