The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announces the launch of its new permit portal website, designed to streamline the permitting process for homeowners, developers, and municipalities. A key feature of this new portal is the ability to apply for the Traffic Generator Access permit, which is essential for managing traffic impacts associated with new developments.
Currently, the portal supports online applications for Traffic Generator Access permits, and will soon expand to include all permit types, such as those for homeowners and municipalities. For now, users can apply for permits like mailbox, project, signage, and lighting by completing the appropriate applications found on the portal and contacting their district permit specialist for submission.
The new permit portal serves as a comprehensive resource for various permits categorized into three main groups: homeowner permits, developer permits, and municipality permits. Users can create an account and follow a straightforward process to apply, ensuring that they can easily navigate the requirements and submit their applications without delays.
To apply for a Traffic Generator Access Permit via the online portal, follow these simple steps:
- Create an account on the Public Permits Hub https://public-permits-ladotd.hub.arcgis.com/.
- Under the “Developer” tab scroll to the bottom and click “Get Started”
- Complete the online application and submit it
- A permit specialist will reach out if there are any questions or if additional information is required.
This portal not only provides convenient access to the Traffic Generator Access permit but also allows users to track their application status, enhancing transparency and efficiency throughout the permitting process.
To explore the new permit portal and begin your application process, please visit: https://public-permits-ladotd.hub.arcgis.com/. For more information, please contact the permit office at 225-379-1920.
