Agreement builds on long-standing partnership and supports critical weigh-in-motion, electronic screening, and commercial vehicle enforcement systems across Idaho
TORONTO, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quarterhill Inc. (“Quarterhill” or the “Company”) (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), a leading technology innovator providing next-generation, AI-driven Intelligent Transportation System (“ITS”) solutions, today announced it has been awarded a contract valued at approximately $1.78 million USD by the Idaho Transportation Department (“ITD”) to maintain, support and modernize the state’s commercial vehicle operations and screening infrastructure.
The contract has an initial one-year term that began Oct. 1, 2026, and includes an option for an additional one-year extension by mutual agreement. It covers East Boise, Declo, Huetter, Inkom, Sage Junction, and Lewiston Port of Entry facilities along I-84, I-90, I-15, and US-95, respectively.
This contract supports the systems that make up Idaho’s commercial vehicle screening network, including weigh-in-motion technology, electronic screening, automated vehicle identification, license plate recognition, enforcement cameras and integrated roadside operations platforms. Working together, these systems help transportation officials support efficient commercial vehicle screening, identify potential safety concerns and keep freight moving safely along the state’s key corridors.
Working closely with ITD, Quarterhill will provide preventive and corrective maintenance, software licensing, technical support and training across the network. The agreement also includes replacement and modernization of roadside equipment at multiple sites to extend system life, reduce disruptions and improve performance.
“Maintaining the reliability and performance of transportation infrastructure is just as important as deploying it,” said Chuck Myers, CEO of Quarterhill. “This award reflects the Idaho Transportation Department’s continued confidence in our team, as well as our shared commitment to ensuring safer roads and more efficient freight movement. We look forward to helping keep one of the nation’s most advanced commercial vehicle operations programs dependable, accurate and ready to meet Idaho’s evolving transportation needs.”
