ePermitting (EPS.47) Update for Signals 3-19-24

PennDOT’s ePermitting System (EPS) was updated on March 19th, 2024 which included enhancements/bug fixes to the Traffic Signal Permitting (TSP) side of EPS. The changes are listed below:

  • Data fields were added to capture information for PennDOT’s TE-160 form. These changes include indicating whether the applicant already has a Traffic Signal Maintenance Agreement in place, traffic signal system information, and Municipal Certification. By entering this information with the application, a separate TE-160 form does not need to be attached to each application.
  • Links have been added to the work summary and locations tab to create a Signal/Non-Signal record in TSAMS, if one does not exist already.
  • Users reported an error where EPS would not allow applicant email addresses to contain specific symbols.  This issue has been resolved and applicant email addresses can now contain symbols.

If you have used EPS recently, your browser may have stored application files in cache from the prior version. If you encounter issues, right click anywhere on the screen and select “inspect”.  Once the inspect screen appears, hold down CTRL and F5 on your keyboard.  This should refresh your cache and fix this issue, should you run into it.

Please continue to send any system enhancement ideas to Anthony Chiodo at anchiodo@pa.gov for future releases.  Some items that we are looking at for future releases are listed below:

  • Allow users to upload multiple documents at once. 
  • Ability to approve system permits in EPS.
  • Streamline and improve user roles to match the TSP process.
  • Increase TSAMS integration to cut down on how much users need to go back and forth between the two systems.

We want to thank everyone for their continued feedback which helps us improve TSP for all of our users.  Again, if you have any questions or ideas for future releases please contact Anthony Chiodo at (717) 934-4192 or anchiodo@pa.gov.
