AASHTOWare Project™ 5.00 Release

November 30, 2023

Upgrade now for new functionality and bug fixes!

AASHTOWare Project™ 5.00 was released on September 22, 2023, and it is packed with enhancements, tech upgrades, and bug fixes. Agencies are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible in order to take advantage of these improvements.

The Project Task Force (PTF), AASHTO, and Infotech have been encouraging agencies to upgrade to the newer versions, and we’re making great progress! Just prior to the 5.00 release, we found that 78% of agencies are using the three newest versions, and only seven agencies are using versions that are out of warranty (and only two agencies are using versions that are no longer supported). We appreciate your efforts to remain current, and we’re sure that your users will appreciate the new fixes and functionality.

If you would like to know more about the new release, we highly recommend you set aside 40 minutes to watch the AASHTOWare Project 5.00 Release Webinar. This video is on the aashtowareproject.org Resources > Videos page, under Project Videos > Recent Webinars. After watching that video, scroll down to find individual TMR recordings, which are also linked from each TMR. If you find these recordings useful, please let us know and recommend them to a coworker.

There are a total of 18 enhancements and 17 tech upgrades in this release, with an additional 83 resolved bug-fix TMRs.
