  1. Technology Innovations for State and Regional Permitting Carol Davis, TxDOT Motor Carrier Division Director Chair - WASHTO Committee on Hwy Transport June 2011

  2. Challenges • Demand reflects economy • Projecting staff needs • Risks of manual processes • Inefficiencies • Artificial barriers impact safety, infrastructure & fee collections, increase costs for all, create economic impacts, & decrease compliance

  3. 90,000 miles of centerline 50,000+ bridges 2,000 - 2,500 temporary & permanent restrictions 27 different permit types 500,000+ permits annually TxPROS eliminates high-risk manual processes by automating majority of permitting and routing “Active” versus “passive” routing Extensive customer and staff design input Background

  4. Technology to Get from “Here” to “There”

  5. TxDOT Benefits • Risk Reduction • Safety, infrastructure & transported loads • Reduces manual mapping, routing and permitting errors • Real-time restriction management with “Alerts” • Increased compliance (and associated fee collections) due to improved service levels • Improved reporting capabilities - OS/OW traffic by road segment, bridge, emerging corridors, etc. • Improves ability to target maintenance & construction dollars • Test restrictions for “what if” scenarios

  6. TxDOT Benefits • Efficiency • Routing in seconds versus minutes/hours • Self-serve for majority • Customer account management • Staff focus on more difficult permits • Fewer help desk calls & amendments • Self Reliance versus Vendor Reliance • Table driven - permit types, fees, system and help verbiage, wizards, etc. by MCD staff • Rights, queues and staff queue assignments • Potential implications for WRP, cross-regional permitting & routing uniformity

  7. Customer Benefits • Self issue + reduced turnaround time • Routing consistency for multiples • “Google-style” directions • Manage accounts, users, yards, financials, equipment inventory, contract information • Restrictions on map versus text in tables • Save/clone permits & routes • Bid routes • Reporting • Wizards for less experienced customers

  8. Project Schedule • June Soft Launch • Final implementation by end of summer • Continued post-launch enhancements

  9. TxDOT Dashboard

  10. Customer Dashboard

  11. Routing By address, intersection, border crossing, select on map Via points Ownership info for off-system roads Split trips & empty to yard

  12. Red areasare restrictions effecting this particular load & route Route

  13. Restriction Details

  14. Turn-by-turn Directions Lists “Bridges Crossed” on TxDOT side to assist super load analysis

  15. Pay and Self-Issue or Submit for Alternate Route/Over-ride
