Infrastructure firm 3525 AECOM has been selected by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) to provide design services for its initial Truck Parking Information Management System (TPIMS) deployment.

This project is part of the Mid-American Association of State Transportation Officials (MAASTO) US$25-million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant to provide innovative solutions to critical truck parking needs.

As part of this approximately US$4-million contract, AECOM will collaborate with INDOT to deploy technologies aimed at providing truck parking availability across Indiana, that will eventually integrate data collected and disseminated with the other contributing MAASTO states including Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Work is anticipated to begin on the project this fall and be completed in the spring of 2017.
