Digital transformation
As communities and economies grow, the world’s transportation infrastructures are looking to digital transformation to provide better outcomes. To improve network and electrification planning, create more efficient and cost-effective asset construction, and optimize performance, safety, and sustainability, we have a range of digital solutions.
Digital AECOM is helping deliver a better world
With a team of over 2,000 digital practitioners, Digital AECOM is transforming the way we do business by developing an expanding ecosystem of tools, systems and processes who also understand our responsibility to respond in an impactful and enduring way.
At Digital AECOM, we recognize that the digital strategy at the heart of your organization’s journey must reflect the very things that make your organization unique – its people and their aspirations, its risks and opportunities, its current digital footprint, its innovations and aspirations, and its appetite for change and ability to absorb it.

Turn difficult choices into informed spending decisions
Asset operation and maintenance come with hefty price tags. In fact, they can account for up to 80 percent of an asset’s life cycle cost. If you can map asset condition and life cycle event data accurately to the asset’s useful life, associate that condition to the asset’s performance and costs, and empower your capital planners and asset managers to collaborate on the outputs, you can target spend where it will deliver better outcomes.
PlanSpend is a secure, interactive, cloud-based solution that enables you, your planners, and your managers to collaborate on prioritizing projects so you can schedule and allocate funding for the most important projects first. Disparate spreadsheets and rough calculations can now be replaced by integrated field condition assessment tools, 360-degree visual immersion into the as-built asset, automated cost estimations, and powerful, easily shared analytics dashboards.

Better communication, improved outcomes
We live in a world of endless communication. But are we engaged? Effective communication is critical in securing effective stakeholder engagement to support timely acceptance and approval for projects, and to avoid wasting time and money. However, reporting processes frequently deliver the exact opposite of engagement.
Traditionally, they have relied on lengthy and complex documents in flat PDF or even paper-based formats that create a barrier to participation, hamper transparency, and often result in duplication of effort. But imagine if communication could be translated directly into an improved triple bottom line by engaging stakeholders, demystifying decisions, enhancing environmental outcomes, and offering real transparency.
PlanEngage provides widespread opportunities for stakeholders to understand the project, its impacts, and its potential before it goes ahead, but also throughout its lifecycle - facilitating deeper engagement and more informed consent, and driving better and more cost-effective project decisions.
Cut through the complexity of funding
A first-of-its-kind approach. Fund Navigator combines artificial intelligence, data analytics and stakeholder engagement with our leading ESG and federal grants advisory services to help you maximize your capital planning and deliver world-class projects.
Fund Navigator helps our clients in the United States to unleash the creativity and expertise necessary to pinpoint multiple funding opportunities. Our digital solution connects data, projects and communities to show you how Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding programs align with your project locations. Our technical experts will help you fully understand and assess these opportunities in the context of your specific programs, so you can maximize grants and loan programs.
FundExplorer: connecting your project to the right funding program
AECOM is empowering clients with IIJA analysis that is helping advance projects that were once on hold, as well as tackling long-standing infrastructure problems and expanding capital plans. Within our PlanSpend and Fund Navigator solutions, mentioned above, you have access to Fund Explorer and Fund Matcher modules that allow you to easily review over 400 IIJA programs and grants and upload your projects to receive preliminary matches of your projects to potential funding programs using AI bot technology, as well as a preliminary Justice40 score based on geospatial analytics. For more information, please fill out this form to gain access to the Fund Explorer module that provides searchable database of information about IIJA funding programs of interest to you, as well as ongoing updates on the release of Notices of Funding Opportunities and application deadlines.
From curbs to codes
A fully connected, automated, and digitized future is on the horizon. As practitioners with a primary obligation to serve the public interest, planners have a responsibility and opportunity to channel digital tools to achieve more equitable outcomes. Together with solutions like artificial intelligence and machine learning, data can transform the way planning projects are designed and delivered to leverage digital transformation for smarter and more equitable mobility.
