From Implementation to Results, We’re With You

Launching an automated enforcement program is new territory for MDOT. Elovate brings the experience to help you get it right.

  • Learn every step. We provide the necessary training for your staff, including citation review, program operations, public communication, and more.

  • Keep improving. We work with your team to identify what is working, address challenges, and build a program that delivers results.

Build a Funding Strategy Into the Program

Getting a new enforcement program off the ground takes upfront investment. Elovate has experience helping agencies move forward when budgets are still being worked out.

  • Flexible fee structure. We offer flexible fee structures designed to help agencies move forward when upfront funding is limited.
  • Work through the challenge together. We’ll work with you to understand your funding constraints and find a practical path forward.
  • Start the conversation early. Talking before the RFP is finalized gives us an opportunity to build funding flexibility into the program from the start.

The Partner Michigan Needs

The most active work zone enforcement operator in the country, backed by three decades of helping states build automated enforcement from the ground up.

  • Aligned with public safety, not citation volume

    Our model is built around behavior change, not citation count.

  • The most active work zone programs in the US

    Six state-level work zone enforcement contracts running today — Maryland, Illinois, Delaware, Indiana, Washington, and Virginia.

  • True turnkey — cameras, processing, analytics, public education

    One partner, one contract, no gaps and no finger pointing between vendors.

  • Built for a phased rollout with measurable results

    Michigan law requires each work zone to be active for 30+ days before enforcement begins. Elovate makes every phase measurable, giving agencies clear reporting on program performance and outcomes.

What Michigan Decision-Makers Are Asking

More active work zone speed enforcement programs than any other operator in the US. Most vendors entering Michigan are adapting. We’re already operating exactly this kind of program.
Our implementation team trains your staff on every stage of the program, from citation review to program operations to public communication. We do not hand off a system and step back. Our customer success team stays engaged after launch, working with your team until the program is delivering results.
Yes. Getting a new program off the ground takes upfront investment, and we have helped agencies move forward when budgets were still being worked out. Talk to us before your RFP is finalized so funding flexibility can be built into the program from the start.
Legal defensibility starts at capture. Elovate’s CiteWeb® platform maintains a complete chain of custody and 100% audit trail on every citation from the moment of violation through adjudication. Every flagged event passes through two layers of human review before a citation is issued.
Elovate’s platform supports work zone, speed, red-light, and school zone enforcement. Agencies that start with a work zone program can expand into other enforcement categories without switching vendors, retraining staff, or rebuilding integrations. One partner, one platform, as your program grows.
The typical timeline from RFP to go-live is 4 to 9 months. Elovate handles site engineering, equipment installation, system integration, public notification, and the driver awareness campaign required ahead of enforcement. Agencies that have completed stakeholder alignment and crash data analysis can move significantly faster. We’re available for pre-RFP informational sessions at any stage.
