Case Study: Oklahoma Department of Transportation achieves 360% faster OS/OW permitting with Hexagon

Oklahoma DOT Issues OS/OW Permits 360 Percent Faster

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) faced significant challenges with its manual process for issuing oversize/overweight (OS/OW) permits, which took up to a week. This delay created economic inefficiencies and public safety risks as truckers sometimes bypassed the system. To address this, ODOT partnered with vendor Hexagon to automate and improve the permitting system using their Automated Routing for Oversize/Overweight Vehicles application.

By implementing Hexagon's web-based solution integrated with Google Maps, ODOT automated routing and permit approvals. This reduced the average permit processing time from days to just 12 minutes, increased permit volume by 15%, and generated an additional $3 million in revenue. The solution from Hexagon also enhanced public safety through real-time route restrictions and saved significant staff time, allowing for earlier office closures.
