Faster Infrastructure: Digital Twins and Public Portal for Project Permitting.

This Act aims to speed up the construction of major transportation infrastructure (roads, bridges) by digitizing the permitting process. It mandates the use of advanced 3D models (digital twins) and establishes a centralized web portal to cut environmental review times by at least 25%. Citizens will benefit from easier access to project documents and the ability to submit comments digitally on planned investments.
