Massachusetts DOT to spend $6.4 million to add truck Weigh-in-Motion tech at fifteen locations statewide

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) will spend millions to expand Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) technology to fifteen new locations to increase commercial vehicle compliance.

On March 5, 2026, compliance technology company Quarterhill announced a $6.4 million contract with MassDOT to “oversee the installation of 15 new WIM stations and the deployment of a comprehensive WIM and commercial vehicle compliance software platform across key interstate and state highway corridors.”

The WIM systems will collect commercial vehicle weight, tire anomaly, and traffic data to help identify overweight and non-compliant commercial trucks.

The planned locations for the new WIM stations are along the following roadways:

• I-84
• I-90
• I-91
• I-93
• I-95
• I-195
• I-290
• I-295
• I-395
• I-495
• Route 3
• Route 24
• Route 146

Quarterhill will also provide MassDOT with software solutions to enhance the agency’s freight management capabilities.

“As freight volumes increase, transportation agencies are prioritizing investments in advanced roadside intelligence technologies to secure real-time, accurate vehicle data solutions,” said Chuck Myers, CEO of Quarterhill. “We are pleased to support MassDOT’s efforts by delivering a scalable WIM deployment that improves roadway safety, strengthens data visibility, enhances enforcement capabilities, and supports long-term transportation planning.”
