​The 2025 openBIM Roads and Bridges Transportation Summit—hosted by the buildingSMART USA Roads and Bridges Committee in collaboration with the AASHTO Joint Subcommittee on Data Standardization (JStan), the “BIM for Infrastructure” and “BIM for Bridges and Structures” national State DOT and FHWA transportation pooled fund teams, and Highway Engineering Exchange Program (HEEP) — was a two-day event co-located with the pooled fund annual business meetings, which brings together roadway and bridge digital delivery staff from over 25 State DOT’s (involved in the BIM national pooled fund projects), alongside FHWA and the engineering companies assisting with these efforts. 

​

This was a unique opportunity to engage and provide input to the State DOT and FHWA participants through an integrated agenda, shared sessions, and facilitated networking. Attendees had the opportunities to explore and get more connected with openBIM efforts underway in the US in Roads and Bridges, including national industry updates, FHWA and national transportation BIM Pooled Funds efforts, technology provider demonstrations, panel discussions, and ongoing openBIM in action projects. The summit included opportunities to provide external stakeholder design and construction input to the State DOT’s to contribute to the national conversation on digital delivery and open data standards in transportation.

This hybrid event saw over 115 in-person attendees and more than 75 online participants tuned in online representing Asset Owners, Technology Providers, Engineering Firms, Contractors and more than 35 State DOTS.
