Iowa DOT's Plan for Digital Delivery

OUR Plan for Digital Delivery

Developing a Road Map for Digital Delivery

We are transforming the way we exchange information to more robust and sustainable methods that leverage digital workflows. Our key goals:

Use 2D and 3D modeling technology to develop project models that can be used as legal documents.
Leverage existing technology and explore new tools to support specific uses.
Expand data collection to manage assets by developing digital models that represent as-built conditions.
Develop and implement data management processes aligned with data management goals

This will be achieved through careful planning, communication and dedicated resources to manage change. Digital delivery transformation will happen in phases over the course of up to ten years but is already underway through pilot projects.
