For State DOTs & Local Government

Set the standard.
The state follows.

In daily use across state DOTs, county engineers, and city public works departments.

When your agency adopts digital stationing, every contractor and CEI firm on your projects follows. A platform that connects agency, contractor, and CEI teams — with collaboration and sharing on your terms. Standardized documentation tied to a station, captured in real time, defensible anytime.

Story 01 · The Standard Creates Adoption

Set the field standard.

One state DOT customer purchased 320 inspector licenses. They didn't issue a rule. They didn't write digital stationing into a spec book. They just made OnStation the way their inspectors documented work — flags, photos, notes, forms, all tied to a station.

The contractors working agency projects watched it happen for one season. By the end, sixteen of them had bought their own licenses — off their own budget — to match the standard.

Before OnStation
Inspectors and contractors worked from disconnected systems. Documentation lived in paper logs, spreadsheets, and email threads. Disputes ran on photos without context.
With OnStation
DOT inspectors drop flags, take notes, and tie everything to a station. Contractors who work alongside them see the value of collaboration.

Story 02 · Disputes Prevented and Defended

Most disputes never happen.
The ones that do, end at the data.

When agency, contractor, and CEI teams document together — same station, same photo, same timestamp — most disagreements get caught early and resolved before they ever become claims. Collaboration is the prevention.

And when one does come: a contractor filed an $80,000 claim against the agency for additional pavement depth they said they'd installed. Without proof, that's an awkward conversation. With station-tied depth-check flag photos taken during the work, it isn't a conversation at all.

"That's about eighty thousand dollars they were looking for — and that was it. No more conversation to be had."

Without shared documentation
Disagreements escalate into claims. Photos exist without context. No station. No alignment. No defense. The agency negotiates from weakness.
With OnStation
Most disagreements get resolved at the source. The ones that don't are tied to a station, offset, alignment, and timestamp. The claim ends where the data starts.

The collaboration mechanism

Drop the flag once. The project sees it.

A flag captured by one person becomes a record that can be shared on multiple levels. Inspectors, agency staff, contractors, and CEI partners all open the same flag, view the same photos, and read the same notes. The conversation happens on the flag itself — not in someone's inbox.

Captured at the station
Photo, description, station, alignment, timestamp, GPS, and user are recorded to the flag automatically. No paperwork to chase down later.
Shared across the project
When a flag is shared, agency, prime contractor, and CEI partner see the same record — not three copies living in different inboxes.
Chat lives on the flag
Threaded conversation attached to the flag itself. The chat IS the documentation — no email chains, no phone calls, no meetings to export later.
Preserved with the project
The flag and its history stay with the project archive. Audit-ready, searchable, defensible.

The product that can save a life
850 Highway work zone fatalities in the U.S. every year1

Every year, workers are killed in road construction zones.
Active Worksite™ tells drivers someone is working ahead.

No CFO asks for the ROI of not having a worker hit by a car. Active Worksite™ broadcasts your crews' live location to drivers — anonymized, only when workers are within 130 feet of the centerline, in apps drivers already use.

Drivers see "Workers Ahead" in apps like Waze — the actual crew location, not just project limits.
Active only when crews are present — auto-deactivates the moment your team leaves.
Documented public-facing warning system — reduces agency liability. Includable in safety plans and TTCs.
Included with every license — no separate Active Worksite contract, no add-on procurement.

Daily work reporting (DWR)
Station-anchored field data feeds the Construction & Materials module. No double entry, no end-of-day reconciliation.
Pay item posting
Photo, station, timestamp, and user — captured at the source. Supports pay item posting and quantity verification.
Modern OpenAPI architecture
Cloud-based, real-time data exchange via AASHTOWare OpenAPI. No middleware, no manual exports.
Open to every AASHTO member
Any agency licensed for AASHTOWare Project. Not gated by tier or seat count.

"Agency teams need reliable ways to translate what's happening on the ground into their system of record. This integration with AASHTOWare Project extends the power of open integration, giving members unprecedented access to jobsite data where and when they need it."

Honest answers to agency questions

What every DOT and city asks first.

The pattern across our state DOT customer base is consistent: contractors follow. One state DOT customer bought 320 inspector licenses, dropped 9,077 flags in a single season, and 16 contractors voluntarily adopted OnStation off their own budget. Other DOTs have seen similar pull effects. We track contractor adoption rates on every agency account and report them quarterly — if the pattern doesn't repeat for you, we'll know quickly.
No. OnStation operates on opt-in collaboration, not default sharing. Each agency, contractor, and CEI firm runs their own account independently — your flags, photos, notes, and forms are private to your team unless you choose to share them. Sharing has multiple levels: a record can be shared with a specific person, an organization, the full project team, or stay entirely within your construction office. You set the permission on the flag itself. OnStation works independently and connects with other teams and systems only when and where you decide. If a record doesn't have a sharing permission set, no one else sees it.
OnStation isn't a replacement for your reporting or daily diary system — it's the field-side capture layer that feeds them. Every flag, photo, note, and form exports to your existing system with full station, alignment, and timestamp metadata. Our Data Alliance with AASHTOWare (announced March 2026) means any agency licensed for AASHTOWare Project can integrate the Construction & Materials module with OnStation via AASHTOWare OpenAPI — supporting DWR, pay item posting, and project delivery decisions. We also integrate with HCSS HeavyJob, Trimble, TransTech, FleetWatcher, and agency-specific reporting platforms. Custom integrations are available for state-specific systems.
OnStation is used by state DOTs, county engineers, city public works departments, and special districts. One major municipal customer started on combined sewer overflow projects and is rolling out across multiple public works departments. Smaller municipalities run on OnStation alongside large state agencies. Local government pricing scales to project volume and team size — we have packages for agencies running ten projects a year and packages for agencies running hundreds.
Every captured element — flag, photo, note, form — is tied to station, alignment, timestamp, GPS coordinates, and the user who captured it. The full record is exportable, searchable, and auditable. We're SOC 2 Type 2 certified with no qualifications. Our records have been used to defend agency positions in disputes, federal grant audits, and FHWA compliance reviews. Documentation defensibility is the product.
No mandate required. Our state DOT customers haven't needed to write OnStation into the spec book — they put it in their inspectors' hands and let the contractor pull-effect happen. We recommend the same path: start with a pilot on 1–3 projects, prove the standard, and let voluntary adoption do the work. If your agency later chooses to write digital stationing into specifications, we'll provide the language. But it isn't required to see results.
Pricing is per inspector license, per year, with three tiers (Locate, Capture, Data). Enterprise pricing is available for statewide or city-wide deployment and gets you predictable annual budget lines. One license covers unlimited projects across the contract year — no project surcharges, no per-flag fees. Procurement docs and pricing for your specific agency are sent within one business day of request.
