Accelerating Advanced Digital Construction Management Systems Program
What's New
- On October 28, 2024, FTA announced the University of Cincinnati will receive approximately $5.1 million in funding to demonstrate advanced digital management system solutions aimed at improving the delivery of transit construction projects.
Overview
The Accelerating Advanced Digital Construction Management Systems Program, created as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law aims to improve how transit agencies deliver capital construction projects. The ADCMS program will fund demonstrations to accelerate the adoption of field-tested digital platforms to reduce costs and improve the delivery of transit infrastructure projects. Digital systems for construction management provide a technology solution for workers throughout the infrastructure project, enabling them to perform tasks faster, more safely, smarter, and more accurately.
FTA is seeking an organization to identify and demonstrate digital construction management tools to better manage transit construction projects, in partnership with at least two transit agencies. This effort will contribute to a best practices document to guide broader implementation of digital systems.
Many transit agencies have implemented elements of construction management, such as program management, but not the more holistic, integrated approach provided by advanced digital systems. These systems take advantage of modern technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and real-time data processing to streamline and coordinate work processes across an organization and throughout the project.
Match
The maximum federal share of project costs under this program is limited to 80 percent. Applicants may seek a lower federal contribution. The applicant must provide the non-Federal share of the net project cost in cash, or in-kind, and must document in its application the source of the non-Federal match. Eligible sources of non-Federal match are detailed in FTA Circular 6100.1E
