Changes Coming to Transportation Permits

By December 6, 2017Articles

Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) is changing the way transportation permits are processed.

WCRC is partnering with Oxcart Permits Systems to process and issue all transportation permits electronically. Beginning January 3, 2018, all transportation permit applications must be submitted via www.oxcartpermits.com and WCRC will no longer process applications using the previous application forms.

This new process will speed up permit approvals and eliminate the tedious paper-oriented processes.  Oxcart will send online permit approvals to your inbox and approved permits can be downloaded to your computer or mobile device.  No software is required to be downloaded or installed. Oxcart is available wherever there is an internet connection. Dashboards, account management, and permit approvals can all be viewed in real-time.

So, here is what is changing on January 3, 2018:

  • All transportation permits will be submitted via oxcartpermits.com. WCRC will no longer process applications using the previous forms.
  • All fees will be paid online with a credit card. WCRC will no longer invoice for transportation permits or accept checks for payment.
  • WCRC permit fees will stay the same but Oxcart will require both a nominal processing fee for its service and a credit card processing fee for each permit processed.
  • Companies will need to register for a free account with Oxcart. Registration is easy and can be completed at https://www.oxcartpermits.com/users/signup.

If you have questions about how to sign-up for an Oxcart account, please join us on Monday, December 18 at 10 a.m. for an Oxcart Sign-up and Transportation Permit Workshop. This will be held at our main office at 555 N. Zeeb Road. Please RSVP to 734-761-1500 by Thursday, December 14. RSVPs are required.

WCRC staff looks forward to continuing to work with you.
