Elation Systems Training Opportunity

Sam Updike, DBE Supportive Services Specialist


MaineDOT is excited to offer two upcoming training sessions for Elation Systems, the platform used for Davis-Bacon labor and contract compliance reporting on all federally funded projects. As a contractor or subcontractor working on a federally funded project, you are required to learn this platform and enter necessary data for labor and contract compliance.



Elation Systems streamlines the certified payroll reporting process by providing an efficient, task-oriented platform that connects contractors and government agencies. The platform eliminates the need for paper-based reporting, offering a seamless, paperless solution that simplifies compliance tasks for all parties involved. By attending one of these training sessions, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to use the Elation Systems interface effectively, ensuring that you can easily submit and manage your reports. These sessions will help you understand the system's capabilities and improve the accuracy and efficiency of your reporting.


Use the links below to sign up for the session that best fits your schedule. We encourage all contractors and subcontractors planning to work on federally funded projects to take advantage of these valuable sessions to ensure full compliance with MaineDOT's requirements. For additional questions or more information, please reach out to the DBE Supportive Services Specialist at supdike@emdc.org.
