Section 503(c) of title 23, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following: The Secretary shall, to the extent practicable, under the technology and innovation deployment program goals established under paragraph (1), promote, support, and document the application of advanced digital construction management systems, practices, performance, and benefits. The goals of promoting the accelerated implementation and deployment of advanced digital construction management systems established under subparagraph
(A)shall include— accelerated State and local government adoption of advanced digital construction management systems applied throughout the project delivery process (including through the design and engineering, construction, and operations phases) that— maximize interoperability with other systems, products, tools, or applications; boost productivity; manage complexity and risk; reduce project delays and cost overruns; enhance safety and quality; and support sustainable design and construction; more timely and productive information-sharing among stakeholders through digital collaboration platforms that connect workflows, teams, and data and reduced reliance on paper to manage construction processes and deliverables; deployment of digital management systems that enable and leverage the use of digital technologies on construction sites by contractors; the development and deployment of best practices for use in digital construction management; increased technology adoption and deployment by States and units of local government that enables project sponsors— to integrate the adoption of digital management systems and technologies in contracts; and to weigh the cost of digitization and technology in setting project budgets; technology training and workforce development to build the capabilities of project managers and sponsors that enables States and units of local government— to better manage projects using advance digital construction management technologies; and to properly measure and reward technology adoption across projects of the State or unit of local government; development of guidance to assist States in updating regulations of the State to allow project sponsors and contractors— to report data relating to the project in digital formats; and to fully capture the efficiencies and benefits of advanced digital construction management systems and related technologies; reduction in the environmental footprint of construction projects using advanced digital construction management systems resulting from elimination of congestion through more efficient projects; development of more sustainable infrastructure that is designed to be more resilient to climate impacts, constructed with less material waste and made with more low-emissions construction materials; and enhanced worker and pedestrian safety resulting from increased transparency. .
