Logging in
The PennDOT ePermitting System (EPS) login screen is available to PennDOT business partners and employees. Anyone who requires highway access for their home or business, or utility access in a road highway right-of-way must complete an application for a Highway Occupancy Permit (HOP).
Two types of users can log into ePermitting:
A PennDOT business partner, also known as external users. This user type includes Applicants, Co-applicants, Engineering Firms, and Business Partner Department Reviewers.
PennDOT employees, also known as Internal users. This user type includes County, District, Central Office, or Federal Highway Administration staff.
Private property owners who, for example, require additional access onto their property, can obtain a HOP by going to their county or district PennDOT office to complete an application form. PennDOT permitting staff enters and submits the application for them.
The ability to login to EPS requires a user to have a valid ECMS (Engineering and Construction Management System) user ID. Please see the EPS administrator if you do not have one.
Access to the ePermitting System is gained through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation website.
