Built for lane closure subcontractors
Software for lane closure subcontractors on highway and urban projects.
Traffic OS is operations software for lane closure subcontractors working on DOT highway projects and urban work zones. Daily field tickets capture the GC's signature with GPS coordinates and timestamp, frozen as audit copies for both your records and theirs. Crews are dispatched with the right equipment kit; time is captured via GPS clock-in. Multi-outlet inventory tracks closure-specific equipment (channelizers, arrow boards, message boards, cones) across regional yards.
How lane closure subcontractors use Traffic OS day-to-day
Daily ticket sign-off with the prime contractor's superintendent
Crew lead captures the prime contractor's super's signature at the start and end of the shift, with GPS coordinates of the work zone and a timestamp. The frozen audit copy lives on both the customer record and the job record — useful when disputes come up six months later.
Per-project profitability tracking
Roll labor (from GPS time clock), equipment (from rental rates × duration), and consumables (from LIFO inventory) into per-project margin reports. Useful for bidding the next contract.
Multi-shift work zones with crew rotation
Night-shift and day-shift crews dispatched to the same work zone show up as separate jobs on the same project, with cross-shift hand-off notes preserved in the audit log.
Equipment fleet across regional yards
Closure-specific equipment (channelizers, arrow boards, drums) registered to regional yards; cross-yard equipment transfers tracked with audit trail.
Why lane closure subcontractors switch to Traffic OS
The pain points operators most often name when explaining why they outgrew a generic field-service platform:
- →GC sign-off paper trail typically lives in pickup-truck cab folders, not searchable
- →Per-project margin is unknowable in residential FSM software
- →DOT billing cycles (monthly progress invoices) don't fit one-stop service-call patterns
- →Inventory of channelizers / drums / arrow boards across regional yards is a spreadsheet problem in most FSMs

How much does Traffic OS cost?+
Plans start at $499.00/mo with 2 admins + 8 drivers included. Pro tier ($949/mo) includes 5 admins + 20 drivers; Enterprise ($1,499/mo) includes 10 admins + 50 drivers. Pricing is flat-tier rather than per-user, so crew growth doesn't scale your monthly cost linearly.
