MT Connect NEMT deployments are anticipated to commence this fall in San Antonio and Corpus Christi, Texas, expanding with ODT to the metro Austin area in late 2023 and also to Orlando, Florida, in early 2024. 

DCPT Using Preteckt's AI Across Bus Fleet

Preteckt announced it has secured a commercial agreement with Dutchess County Public Transit (DCPT).
