Routematch Software

What Routematch Software does

Routematch Software, LLC is a U.S.-headquartered transit technology provider founded in 2000 in Atlanta, Georgia, that delivers a modular, cloud-based platform for public transit and paratransit agencies. Its product suite comprises Demand (paratransit and demand response), Fixed (fixed-route scheduling and operations), Pay (automated fare collection across medialess, smart card, and mobile ticketing), Mobility (mobility-on-demand and microtransit, including the Amble component), Intelligence (the Transit Miner business intelligence platform acquired via 2g Transit Solutions in 2018), In-Vehicle Technology (driver tablets and mobile data terminals), and the RouteShout rider information app — all accessed through the myRoutematch customer portal. The underlying technology combines multi-modal scheduling and dispatch with machine-learning capabilities, most notably the Next Generation Scheduling engine that uses agency-owned GPS data to optimize 5,000–10,000 trips in under one minute and to predict trip cancellations, alongside a BI platform that tracks approximately 50,000 trips per day.

Routematch monetizes primarily through enterprise SaaS subscriptions and professional services sold via a direct field-sales motion to transit agencies, with regional sales leadership (e.g., Denver) supporting U.S. coverage and offices in Australia (opened 2013) and Ireland (opened 2016) supporting international customers. The go-to-market emphasizes in-person demonstrations, industry-conference presence (e.g., CTAA Expo), and content/community engagement (the #transitnerds community, Q&A expert series, Routematch TV). Its customer base spans more than 500 transit agencies, including municipal operators (York Region Transit, Intercity Transit, Anaheim Resort Transportation), rural systems (HIRTA, Pelivan, Porterville), international agencies (Fairbanks, STAR Community Transport in Queensland, Australia), and nonprofits, with a core value proposition centered on ADA-compliant integrated mobility rather than smartphone-only microtransit.

In November 2018, Routematch acquired 2g Transit Solutions to deepen its analytics capabilities, and in 2025 Routematch was acquired by TripSpark, under which it continues to operate as a portfolio brand supporting demand response, fixed route, fare collection, and mobility-on-demand customers.
