Digital Infrastructure Committee 

The Digital Infrastructure Committee is dedicated to modernizing the nation’s transportation systems through digital innovation and technologies. The committee’s work centers on shaping the future of mobility by leading efforts in digital transformation, data governance, and the development and implementation of forward-thinking digital policies and regulations that treat digital infrastructure as core infrastructure. By collaborating with industry experts, government officials, policymakers, and a broad range of stakeholders, the committee addresses complex challenges and seizes new opportunities in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.  

2026 Focus Areas 

  • Advance the Digital Infrastructure Action Plan to guide modernization. 
  • Support transition from analog to digital systems. 
  • Develop frameworks for secure, scalable data exchange. 
  • Promote digital twinning for traffic management and planning. 

Digital Twinning Working Group 
This group advances the use of digital twins for traffic management and infrastructure planning. It develops resources and models to help agencies simulate and optimize real-world operations. 

Shared Data Layer Task Force 
The task force works to establish frameworks for seamless data exchange across transportation systems. Its efforts aim to improve interoperability and enable secure, efficient data-sharing among stakeholders. 

Analog to Digital Task Force 
This task force guides the transition from outdated analog systems to advanced digital platforms through a comprehensive white paper. The white paper will present a roadmap and explore strategies to accelerate the analog to digital transition, providing agencies with actionable approaches to prepare for future infrastructure needs. This effort will highlight best practices, identify challenges and opportunities, and present practical solutions that support national infrastructure modernization goals and assist stakeholders in managing this critical transformation. 

2026 Full Committee Leadership
