AASHTOWare Project™ – APOST

AASHTOWare Project™ software (AWP) is a data management system. It was created by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). This software is the complete, enterprise-wide solution for managing a transportation agency’s construction program.

Many transportation departments nationwide use AWP modules. The modules together enable the management of information throughout the entire contract and construction lifecycle. AWP covers cost estimation, bid letting, construction and material management, and civil rights and labor. AWP allows the creation of a consistent, integrated view of the contract process during each phase. This happens thanks to the modules meeting FHWA requirements and state's preconstruction and construction needs.

 

Web-based AASHTOWare Project software consists of five modules:

We have currently implemented two of the five modules within ODOT:

In addition, ODOT has begun APOST, the implementation project for two other modules:

ODOT is implementing the AASHTOWare Project Construction & Materials (C&M) and AASHTOWare Project Civil Rights & Labor (CRL) modules. We’ve nicknamed this project, “APOST,” an acronym that stands for AASHTOWare Project One Source of Truth. This allows us to assimilate multiple systems into one unified database. It creates a consistent, integrated view of the construction contracting process and facilitates various reporting requirements. With AWP, we will have one source for data that extends from preconstruction (already implemented) through project final acceptance.

APOST allows the simplification of our business and management reporting. In addition, it replaces aging databases with a current data management system. AASHTOWare Project supports the programs required for construction and civil rights tracking. It ends the practice of dividing data into multiple systems.
