E-TICKETING IS REVOLUTIONIZING CALIFORNIA

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is moving towards digital material weight ticketing (E-ticketing) by engaging in a statewide pilot of a central Caltrans E-ticketing portal and smart phone app. The goal is to pilot use of E-ticketing on many construction projects using hot mix asphalt, concrete, and aggregates in the 2025 construction seasons in order to evaluate systems and processes in anticipation of a further roll-out in coming years with a fully integrated system, possibly as early as the end of 2026.

What does this mean?

California is revamping traditional paper-based processes for highway construction projects by integrating them into electronic and digital workflows. e-Ticketing provides digital means to produce, transmit, and share materials data to track and verify materials deliveries. This streamlines inspections and improves contract administration processing.

Caltrans is leading the industry with the introduction of the Caltrans Portal to enhance productivity, reduce environmental impacts and become safer across state job sites. The Caltrans Portal grants access via desktop and mobile devices and simplifies the exchange of material data from across the ecosystem of construction management systems.

The Caltrans Portal will connect in real-time any asphalt, ready-mix or aggregate producer, regardless of ticketing vendor.

A message from us

"E-ticketing, a nationwide FHWA-sponsored innovation, as most states actively participating in pilot projects or full-scale implementations. The e-Ticket serves as a digital replacement for traditional paper tickets, documenting delivered and accepted material weights for hot mix asphalt, concrete, and aggregates. Caltrans has successfully advanced through multiple phases of this initiative, including piloting e-ticketing on hot mix asphalt projects via change order and expanding to concrete and aggregate projects. In 2025, Caltrans has progressed to Phase 3, issuing a new non-standard specification and a special notice for bidders on 18 potential pilot projects. This marks a significant step in modernizing construction documentation and enhancing efficiency."

– Perry Mayer, Senior Transportation Engineer, Caltrans


As sponsored by FHWA, Caltrans is attempting to rid itself of traditional paper-based processes for highway and bridge construction projects by integrating them into electronic and digital workflows.

E-ticketing provides digital means to produce, transmit, and share materials data to track and verify materials deliveries and accepted materials amounts. This streamlines inspections by relying on a centralized Caltrans portal and a smartphone app to be used by the inspector, in order to instantaneously and automatically share and communicate material data between the Department, contractor, and supplier. It also improves contract administration processing by eliminating paper, human contact, and delays in relaying information between the parties. Use of the Caltrans portal and smart phone app enhances efficiency and productivity, simplifies the exchange of material data, reduces environmental impacts, and increases safety at the jobsite by eliminating the need for the inspector’s collection of paper tickets near traffic.

Contractors and suppliers use various E-ticketing vendors. The centralized Caltrans portal works in real-time and will connect to any asphalt, concrete, or aggregate producer and supplier, regardless of the e-ticketing vendor.

What's in it for me?

Cost-Effective

Optimize time and cost savings by eliminating the administrative burden of hunting down every ticket for every load on every project.

Streamlined Ops

E-Ticketing automation greatly reduces administrative burden for field crews, back-office staff, and project managers.

Unlock your Data

Delivering real-time E-Ticket data throughout the entire supply chain enables seamless access for relevant personnel both in the office and the field.

Improve Safety

Eliminate the need to physically board delivery trucks for ticket retrieval. Ensure greater transparency and safety across the entire project.

What’s included for the contractor?

Caltrans

provides the contractor with complimentary access to the mobile app JOBslip. JOBslip is available both on the web and on a smartphone device via the JOBslip mobile app. Tickets can be viewed and downloaded by field staff or the back office giving a full transaction report of what tickets have been sent electronically and their delivery status.

View Transactions
Access a live feed of digital tickets on loads associated with
Caltrans
projects. View all the ticket data for every load without hunting down paper tickets.
Digital Proof of Delivery
Maximize productivity and minimize delays with one-tap digital signature for proof of delivery. Field crews keep digital records of loads, tickets and routes from plant to jobsite.
Streamlined Reconciliation
E-Ticketing simplifies your reconciliation process. Download daily ticket reports in .csv (“comma separated value”) format for easy import into your ERP system.
Transparency
Delivery reports provide transparency and accountability to both you and
Caltrans
to ensure all loads are accounted for.

How does it all work together?

Contractors will still deliver loads from plant to jobsite just like they do now. JobSlip and the

Caltrans

will automatically communicate with minimal intrusion or disruption to your current operations.

Business As Usual
Nothing changes in your daily operations. As trucks pull up to the plant, operators log the truck and job details, hit the print button to create a paper ticket. This action automatically logs the digital ticket information at the producer’s scale database.
Collection of e-Tickets
The
Caltrans Portal
collects digital ticketing data sent from the producer’s scale in real-time.
JOBslip Mobile App
Caltrans
provides you complimentary access to the mobile app JOBslip to digitally view the same information on your paper ticket. This grants both parties access to the same digital ticket data.
Digital Receipt
JOBslip will now be your digital transaction receipt. You can choose to download tickets in multiple formats to fit your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will this cost me?

Nothing. California Department of Transportation has partnered with HaulHub to provide one software license for every supplier/producer. If your ticket data is centrally located in one database, the Caltrans Portal has everything you need to start sending e-Tickets to California Department of Transportation at no additional cost.* (*Producer/Supplier assumes all costs associated with modernizing their systems to meet this requirement beyond what is outlined.)

Does this handle multiple material types?

Yes. The Caltrans Portal is the most flexible e-Ticketing portal available and works with all major construction material.

Why is Caltrans doing this now?

California is moving towards an all-electronic ticketing program for its Caltrans projects which will eliminate paper tickets associated with Hot Mix Asphalt, Ready Mix Concrete, and Aggregate. Not only will this streamline the Caltrans construction projects, it will allow the state to save money on every ticket, ensure vendors are paid faster, and create a more sustainable solution for the environment.

I don’t have internal IT resources to set this up, can I still participate?

Yes. California Department of Transportation has secured basic IT services from HaulHub to get your operations up and running at no cost to you. This assumes that your ticket data is centrally located in one database. If your plant systems are not consolidated into one central database, you might require additional IT services.* (*Producer/Supplier assumes all costs associated with modernizing their systems to meet this requirement beyond what is outlined.)

I already use an e-Ticketing system, do I have to change?

No. The Caltrans Portal provides API access for producers with existing e-Ticketing solutions, or with internal IT resources.
