The Hagerstown/Eastern Panhandle Metropolitan Planning Organization (HEPMPO), which oversees transportation planning across parts of Maryland and West Virginia, implemented ProjectTracker in 2025 to enhance coordination and public transparency of its transportation projects, including the TIP and LRTP. HEPMPO adopted the platform to streamline project tracking and provide a centralized resource for stakeholders.
Challenges
Before ProjectTracker, HEPMPO managed its transportation programs through disjointed manual workflows. This caused complications such as:
- Limited visibility into project timelines and funding status across jurisdictions.
- Inconsistent reporting methods and data formats between agencies.
- Difficulty communicating project priorities and progress to the public.
- Delays in updating stakeholders on changes to transportation plans.
Solution
HEPMPO implemented ProjectTracker to unify and digitize its TIP and LRTP planning workflows. New work flow capabilities included:
- Deployed ProjectTracker to centralize and standardize project data.
- Enabled interactive, map-based views for internal coordination and public transparency.
- Reduced time spent compiling reports and answering stakeholder inquiries.
- Enhanced regional collaboration through shared access to real-time data.
