Creating a LGP Profile

Creating a Local Government Partner Profile

If you have the Local Government Partner role AND there is not a profile set up for your organization, when you successfully log in to EPS, the system will prompt you to create a profile.

At the prompt, you can choose to create a profile or not.

If you do not choose to create a profile, you can still search for applications or create/edit an application if you also have the Applicant role. The next time you log in to EPS, if a profile for your organization has still yet to be created, the system will again prompt you to do so. This will continue until a profile is created for your organization.
If you choose to create a profile, the Create Local Government Partner Profile page will be displayed.

To Create a Profile:

1. Log in to ePermitting.

2. When you are prompted to create a profile, opt to do so. The Create Local Government Partner Profile page will display.

3. Your Partner Type (Municipality or Planning Commission) and your Business Partner ID will display.

4. If this is a Municipality profile, select a County and at least one Municipality.

5. If this is a Local Planning Commission profile, select at least one County.

6. When you are finished, click Save & Next. The Edit Notifications page displays.

Note: To return to the information on the Create Local Government Partner (LGP) Profile page, click the Partner Details tab.

The Notifications Tab

Here, your organization can identify who in your organization will be notified for what.

1. On the Notifications tab, under the For Application Type section, select the type(s) of application(s) about which your organization should be notified. Doing so enables the remaining sections on the page.

2. Under the Send Notification by Email When section, choose when your organization should be emailed - when PennDOT receives applications and/or when PennDOT responds to an application.

The Documentation Tab

Here, your organization can request to review driveway applications within your jurisdiction. For the application types selected here, the applicant will be informed that their application must be accompanied by evidence. The evidence should indicate that the location and type of access being requested has been reviewed by your organization. PennDOT will consider any comments or recommendations resulting from this review prior to approving the access permit.

1. In the upper section of the page, select the type(s) of driveway applications (High Volume, Medium Volume, etc.) for which your organization requires documentation.

2. In the Contact Information for Documentation section of the page, use the Add button to list the names and contact information of the individuals to be provided to the applicant for the type(s) of applications selected.

3. To add more names, click on the Add button again. To remove a name, click the Delete link beside the name to be removed.

4. Click Save or Save & Exit.

About Contacts

Points to remember when adding Notification and/or Documentation contacts:

Notification contacts are separate from Documentation contacts. The same people can be selected for both, or not.
If the same person is to be used as both a Notification contact and a Documentation contact, that person must be added on both tabs.
Only those individuals within your BPID with the role of LGP Partner will be available for selection.
If the information (e-mail address, phone number, name) associated with a contact is incorrect, it can be corrected only through ECMS. Your EPS Security Administrator can update the information.
