The online Utility Permitting Administration System (UPAS) accommodates the permitting process and associated workflows, including a location repository that will improve information accessibility and usefulness for internal and external users.

Using UPAS, users can:

  • Notify MDT of utility maintenance work within the highway right-of-way.
  • Apply for a utility permit for new or upgraded installations in the right-of-way.
  • Access existing and proposed utility location data in the right-of-way.
