Since 1985, AASHTOWare has been the premier source of innovative technology solutions for the transportation community. For that reason, AASHTOWare created the Alliance Program in September 2023 to fill functional gaps in its software offerings while also allowing it to meet the growing needs of its members.

Within that program, there are three types of alliances: data, product, and strategic. Strategic alliances involve a deeper commitment between the potential alliance partner and AASHTOWare; allowing for the development of products in new business areas.

One such new product is AASHTOWare PermitRoute powered by ProMiles; a cloud-based automated technology solution tailored for real-time oversized overweight permitting and routing needs of state and local transportation agencies.

The alliance between AASHTOWare and ProMiles also offers users a seamless integration into all major load rating tools – such as AASHTOWare Bridge Rating – to provide a convenient and efficient load rating process that is in accordance with Federal Highway Administration regulations.

“AASHTOWare PermitRoute powered by ProMiles analyzes a variety of factors ranging from route restrictions and load attributes to jurisdiction preferences, equipment type and commodity in order to create real-time routing and permitting guidance for state transportation agencies,” explained Ryan Fragapane, product director at AASHTOWare. “That helps ensure greater safety and efficiency for the trucking community nationwide.”

“We are excited to align with AASHTOWare and work with AASHTOWare members,” said Tim Pilcher, co-founder and co-president of ProMiles. “The opportunity to work directly with users of our software and hear their challenges within the oversized overweight permitting and routing systems will help us strategically plan to ensure we are enhancing user capabilities.”
