e-Ticketing Construction Materials Task Force Launched

Public and private highway, infrastructure and construction materials industry leaders have launched the National Construction Materials e-Ticketing Task Force. The industry is seeking to promote the use of e-ticketing and find innovative ways to enhance productivity, reduce environmental impacts and become safer. The e-Ticketing Task Force provides a first in the nation model for how the public and private sector can work together to facilitate the digital transformation of the construction industry.

The launch includes the debut of an informational and robust website and introduced a seven-minute video. The video highlights the benefits of digital ticketing and stars task force members and both public and private sector DOT and contractor workers. The website provides information for both state departments of transportation and materials contractors. Case studies highlight the various methods that can be used to transition to e-ticketing and showcase recent pilot projects at the Delaware and Indiana DOTs. The website will provide industry updates and post information about future national conversations, industry conventions and events.

Highway construction projects across the United States produce massive amounts of paper, however the data from those infrastructure projects is lost in storage bins, warehouses and filing drawers. Digital ticketing allows for better management and real-time access to project data.
