SMART Infrastructure Act of 2025
The SMART Infrastructure Act of 2025 requires federal agencies to modernize infrastructure permitting by using 3D digital models (digital twins) and a centralized electronic platform (e-NEPA portal). It directly affects transportation agencies, project developers, and communities involved in federal infrastructure projects, such as roads and bridges under the Department of Transportation. Key provisions mandate that digital twins integrate real-time data for environmental and operational planning, while the e-NEPA portal streamlines document sharing, public access, and interagency coordination. The bill sets a goal to reduce environmental review timelines by at least 25% for eligible projects through these digital tools.
