NJTA maintains the New Jersey Turnpike and the
Garden State Parkway through separate operating
Departments of NJTA. Consisting of 2,288 lane miles
of roadway, the New Jersey Turnpike is one of the
most densely traveled roads in the nation. The
Turnpike covers a distance of 148 miles, from the
Delaware Bridge to the South, to the George Washington
Bridge to the North. In July 2003, NJTA assumed
control of the maintenance and operations of the
172.5-mile-long Garden State Parkway from the former
New Jersey Highway Authority.
Today, over 600,000 vehicles travel the New Jersey
Turnpike daily and more than 1.1 million vehicles
use the Garden State Parkway each day.
The two Departments are divided into four Divisions
with a total workforce of approximately 950 persons.
NJTA also maintains 1,000 bridges and more than 100
interchanges and supporting infrastructure comprised
of 48,000 signs, 3.2 million linear feet of guide
rail, 300 buildings and facilities, and a support
fleet of 1,600 vehicles. Crews are spread over nine
maintenance districts and use 30,000 gallons of paint,
25,000 tons of salt, and 100,000 litterbags annually.
"One of our goals for the new system is to
develop a framework for standardizing common business
processes for both the New Jersey Turnpike and the
Garden State Parkway," stated Stephen Ehrmann,
NJTA Assistant Technology Director and Project Manager. "We
are delighted to hear that Spear Technologies, our
originally selected vendor, has merged their operations
into Hansen's Transit and Rail Business, where they
can continue to expand their resources."
Hansen's Transit and Rail Business was established
as part of its recent acquisition of Spear Technologies.
As part of the NJTA Project, Hansen's Transit and
Rail Business will provide its suite of enterprise
asset management (EAM) solutions, including software
implementation and integration services to NJTA's
PeopleSoft Inventory, Purchasing, and Payroll modules.
The new system will also be interfaced to a third
party fuel management system. Hansen's solutions
also integrate with SAP and Oracle Financial applications.
When completed, the new system provided by Hansen
will support the management of all work orders, inspections,
timekeeping, preventive and corrective maintenance,
snow and ice removal, environmental accident containment
and clean-up, and equipment damage tracking for all
of NJTA's facilities, moving, and linear assets.
In addition to the New Jersey Turnpike Authority,
other international tollway and roadway Hansen clients
include:
"The demand to extend the useful life of our nation's
transportation infrastructure has never been greater," commented
Chuck Hansen, Chairman and CEO of Hansen. "We
are pleased to add the New Jersey Turnpike Authority
as our customer." |
