What's New in OnStation: Q1 2026 Feature Updates for Road Construction Teams

A Note From Patrick Russo - May Newsletter for OnStation

OnStation's Q1 2026 update adds new capabilities across location, documentation, and data export workflows — changes that directly address the field requests we've heard most from CEI teams, prime contractors, and DOT staff over the past season.

If you're evaluating OnStation for an upcoming project or season, this update is worth reviewing alongside the core feature set. The changes reflect how real crews are using the platform in the field — not feature roadmap speculation.

If you're an existing OnStation user, here's what changed, what it means for your workflow, and how to start using the new features on your active projects. As always, a 30-minute onboarding call is available for any team member who needs a refresher or wants to walk through the new tools before the next project kicks off.

Wrapping Up the 2026 Trade Show Season 💼

We’ve spoken at 8 industry events this year all focused on transportation, construction, and roadway innovation.

With another trade show season in the books, we connected with crews, engineers, and industry leaders across the country. From insightful conversations to live demos, trade show season gave us the opportunity to hear firsthand how teams are tackling technology in the field and where we can fit into that.

We’re walking away energized with new relationships and shared commitment to improving how work gets done on the jobsite. If we met you at a show, thank you for stopping by. If we missed you, we’d still love to connect.

 

Paving Season is Here 🚧

As paving season ramps up, crews are moving fast and having accurate location data becomes even more critical. Whether you're verifying stationing, coordinating with your team, or documenting work completed, having the right tools in place can make all the difference.

Get a More Competitive Bid 🫰

Winning more work often comes down to how competitive and accurate your bids are. One of the biggest challenges contractors face is accounting for uncertainty in the field, which can lead to added contingencies and higher costs.

By using technology like OnStation, teams can eliminate much of that guesswork. With instant access to stationing, GPS location, and plan data in the field all on your phone, crews can work more efficiently, reduce rework, and make better decisions in real time. That increased visibility doesn’t just improve operations, it gives you the confidence to submit more competitive bids without taking on additional risk.


Do you know someone that should be using OnStation❓

Chances are you’ve worked alongside someone who could benefit from having stationing directly on their phone. Whether it’s a subcontractor, inspector, or project manager, OnStation helps teams stay aligned and work more efficiently in the field.

If someone comes to mind, send them our way and we’d love to help them get started and give you a little something in return for referring them.
