The application it selected was one of the first cloud-based construction planning software solutions and the leader in the category at the time. As an early adopter of cloud-based technology, PTC ultimately made this application its standard on all projects. While the application served the Commission well at the time, the vendor was ultimately acquired, and product development and enhancements slowed dramatically. "We certainly had misgivings about the situation, but there just wasn't a better option on the market, and migrating to a competing system would've brought us back to square one," said Jeff Wilson, Senior Engineer Project Manager. In 2010, PTC reviewed its existing systems and processes and concluded it needed to consolidate systems and move to a next-generation construction project management and collaboration platform. PTC gathered requirements from its design, construction, facility management and IT teams. It then went through an extensive RFP and vendor evaluation process. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) was created in 1937 to construct, finance, operate and maintain the Pennsylvania Turnpike. In 1940, the 160-mile roadway opened for business to become America's first superhighway. Today, PTC oversees one of the nation's busiest and longest highway systems with annual toll revenues totaling $1.6 billion, ranked fourth in the U.S. PTC's mission – with its 552 turnpike miles – is to operate a safe, reliable, customer-valued toll road system that supports national mobility and commerce. The PA Turnpike's Capital Plan is scheduled to average over $720M per year ($600M for construction) for the next 10 years. Projects include highways, bridges, tunnels, facilities, technology, fleet and toll collection.
