Abbotsford, BC / TheNewswire / July 12th, 2017 - Gatekeeper Systems Inc. ("Gatekeeper" or the "Company") ((TSX.V: GSI, OTC:GKPRF, FSE: 1GK)) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a five-year recurring revenue contract (the "Contract") with Chattooga County School District in Georgia, USA (the "District"). Pursuant to the Contract, the Company will provide an initial installation of 15 Student ProtectorTM multi-lane stop-arm video enforcement cameras equipped with TIMTM (Traffic Infraction Management) technology (the "System").

Chattooga County School District operates school buses on approximately 33 routes. The 15 routes having the highest observed rate of stop-arm violations - collectively measured by local authorities at over 40 violations per day - will be the first to receive Systems. Gatekeeper will be working in conjunction with Chattooga County Sheriff's Office, in accordance with the Georgia State Legislation and Georgia's Intergovernmental Agreement to provide the District with an automated stop-arm camera solution. Under the Contract, Gatekeeper is responsible for administrating the project, managing the process from violation through paid citation, while the Sheriff's Office will be responsible for approving or rejecting violations. The revenue generated from collection of citation fees funds the program and will be split amongst the District, the County, and Gatekeeper.

In Georgia, USA, stop-arm violation tickets begin at $300 for the first offence; $750 for the second offense; and $1,000 for subsequent offences within a five-year period. The Contract is for an initial five-year term, beginning on the day which the first citation is issued, and automatically renews for an additional five-year term unless the District or Gatekeeper provides written notice of its intention not to renew the Contract.

Doug Dyment, President and CEO commented, "We are thrilled that Chattooga County has chosen Gatekeeper for this project to deter stop-arm violators and look forward to working with them. This is the fourth revenue sharing contract we have landed in Georgia, and are confident that positive results and user experiences from this will help further drive Gatekeeper's transition into a leading end-to-end solution provider."

The Company currently has twenty-two school districts throughout the United States in the Evaluation Phase, representing 1,684 school buses, and is hopeful that it will be awarded additional contracts following the completion of the Evaluation Phase.

The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation study for 2016 indicates 74,421 stop-arm violations occurred in a single day count from 33 of the 50 States that participated . With an average of 180 days in a school year, the number of stop-arm violations could surpass 13 million within the participating States..

Ownership of Student ProtectorTM equipment, and TIMTM, a proprietary software application remains the property of Gatekeeper, thereby providing a zero capital cost solution to school districts while enabling them to share in stop-arm violation ticket revenue.
