Title:
Accelerated Implementation and Deployment of Advanced Digital Construction Management Systems, also known as Advanced Digital Construction Management Systems (ADCMS).
Background:
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) administers the Advanced Digital Construction Management Systems (ADCMS) program. It was established by Congress in Section 5513 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and is codified in Federal statute at 23 U.S.C. 503(c)(5).
The purpose of the ADCMS program is to promote, implement, deploy, demonstrate, showcase, support, and document the application of advanced digital construction management systems and practices. The program's goals include maximizing interoperability with other systems, boosting productivity, managing complexity, reducing project delays and cost overruns, and enhancing worker safety and environmental benefits through more efficient projects.
The program provides competitive grants to eligible entities, including State Departments of Transportation, applying alone or in partnership with Local Agencies, Tribes or Private Industry. The FHWA announced the availability of up to $34 million for fiscal year 2026 grants to support these workforce and technology development efforts.
Respondents:
The NOFO announcing up to $34 million of Fiscal Year (FY) 2026, funding for ADCMS competitive grants will be available for local and State transportation agencies, which may partner with institutions of higher education and businesses on
grants.gov.
FHWA is expecting roughly 35 applicants to apply for ADCMS grant funding.
Frequency:
NOFOs and grant solicitations may be published annually by FHWA but are subject to the availability of funds in appropriations or, any legislation signed into law authorizing funds.
Estimated Average Burden per Response:
132 hours per respondent per applicant.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:
It is expected that the respondents will complete approximately 35 applications for the program, for an estimated total of
4,620
annual burden hours.
