Minimum Use Driveway (MUD) Screen - No Plans
Creating a Minimum Use Driveway Application
EPS is designed to allow an authorized user to create and submit a permit application for a Minimum Use Driveway (MUD) when they do not have an engineering plan. It provides them with the capability to create generic plans (as in the M-950A paper form) via an online form. This online form also conforms to the procedures outlined in PennDOT Publication 312.
Minimum Use Driveway permits are issued to property owners for installation or alteration of driveways that serve fewer than 25 vehicles per day (<50 ADT) and are being constructed or altered without a formal engineering plan.
MUD applications can be created and submitted by the Applicant/Owner, by an Agent operating on behalf of the applicant/owner, or by PennDOT Receivers, acting on behalf of the applicant/owner. To create MUD applications, Applicants and Agents must have a Business Partner ID number or must be a registered as an Express Registration user.
Property owners requiring a Minimum Use Driveway permit are less likely than other applicants to have a Business Partner ID. It may therefore be necessary for them to acquire an Express User ID to be able to access EPS to create and submit an application for a MUD permit.
The user or Agent who submits an application on behalf of an applicant is automatically assigned as the engineering firm.
The Clear button on the Create Minimum Use Driveway Application screen is available Applicants, Agents and Receivers. When selected, all data fields on the screen are cleared.
A MUD application can be withdrawn by the Applicant or the Receiver OBO any time before it is submitted.
When a MUD permit is issued, a copy of the M-950A PDF form that was created during the application process is attached as page 2 of the issued permit (found on the Permit page of the application). In addition to this document PATA documents are also included in this email.
