DRI Corporation Notes Growth in U.S. Transit Ridership.

* Approximately 2.6 Billion U.S. Transit Trips Taken in Second Quarter 2007

* More Than 5.0 Billion U.S. Transit Trips Taken During First Half of 2007

* DRI's Products Help to Improve Ridership, the Environment and Transit Security

DALLAS -- DRI Corporation (DRI) (NASDAQ: TBUS), a digital communications technology leader in the domestic and international surface transportation and transit security markets, noted today that, according to the American Public Transportation Association's (APTA) ridership report for second quarter 2007, U.S. transit ridership increased at an accelerated rate in the second quarter and more than 5.0 billion transit trips were taken during the first half of 2007.

"More people are choosing public transportation. According to APTA, Americans took 78 million more trips using public transportation during the first six months of 2007 than in the same period of 2006. APTA also said that almost all modes of transportation posted increases during the first six months of 2007. Increased transit ridership potentially brings with it an increased demand for transportation-related equipment in DRI's domestic market as we together work toward lowered carbon emissions, an improved environment, greater mobility, and passenger and fleet security. We are excited to see these continued increases in U.S. transit ridership, and believe that it feeds into DRI's growth plans," David L. Turney, the Company's Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, said.

Mr. Turney believes that, with the intense need to reduce the consumption of fossil fuel and the need for imported oil, these increases in U.S. transit ridership are an important development toward "thinking and acting green" to help 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 strongly believe that few, if any, small-cap companies can lay claim to actively serving all of these very real issues - on an international basis - with one family of products," he said.
