VTrans Approves FODS Trackout Control Mats for Inclusion on the Approved Products List (APL) Under Specification 755.15 – Trackout Mats.
The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) has added FODS Trackout Control Mats to its Approved Products List (APL). Following a review by the VTrans Materials & Research Section and the appropriate Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), the product was approved for inclusion under specification 755.15 – Trackout Mats.
The Approved Products List is the reference VTrans uses to identify materials that have been evaluated and accepted for use on Agency projects. With this listing, FODS Trackout Control Mats are now recognized on the APL under the trackout mats specification. Download the letter here.
The approval was issued by the VTrans Construction & Materials Bureau, Materials & Research Section, and reviewed by the Agency's Subject Matter Experts as part of the VTrans Approved Products Program. Additional information about the program and the current APL is available on the VTrans Approved Products webpage.
Contractors and specifiers working on VTrans projects can now reference FODS Trackout Control Mats on the Approved Products List when a trackout control mat is called for under specification 755.15. Sourcing from the APL simplifies material selection and documentation on state-managed work.
FODS Trackout Control Mats offer a reusable alternative to traditional stone construction entrances. The system uses rows of pyramids that flex tires, breaking loose mud and debris to collect it in the base of the mat rather than tracking onto the roadway. Because the mats do not degrade in weather the way aggregate entrances do, they provide a consistent solution across the life of a project.
The system is straightforward to install, maintain, and relocate. Maintenance is typically a simple cleaning with a street sweeper or a skid steer with a broom attachment, and it can be folded into an existing site sweeping schedule to keep entrances functioning and compliant throughout construction. With an expected lifespan of 10+ years and multiple configurations to fit changing entrance and substrate conditions, FODS is well suited to the range of trackout control needs on Vermont transportation projects.

FODS Trackout Control Mats are listed on the VTrans Approved Products List under specification 755.15. Inclusion on the APL reflects that the product has been evaluated and accepted for use on VTrans projects and does not constitute an endorsement by the Agency.
