2025 AASHTOWare Connect Recap

May 27, 2025

Thank you to everyone who joined us last month in Providence, RI for AASHTOWare Connect 2025!

This year’s conference provided a dynamic platform for state DOT professionals and industry software leaders to engage in meaningful discussions around AI, data integration and governance, and the AASHTOWare OpenAPI. Attendees collaborated on current and future integrations between AASHTOWare and external systems—many of which are supported through the AASHTOWare Alliance Program.

A key theme throughout the event was connection: how we can work together across the transportation industry to deliver software that empowers DOTs with accurate, actionable data—enhancing both efficiency and effectiveness.

Session Highlights Included:

  • Keynote on AI
  • Panel Discussion on Digital Delivery using AASHTOWare Project
  • BIM/Digital Delivery covering Open Data Flow, AASHTOWare, J-STAN, Pooled Funds, and bSI Presentation
  • FMIS and AASHTOWare Project Integration Presentation
  • AI policy Presentation from the Vermont Agency of Transportation

One of the most valuable aspects of the conference was the networking that happened between sessions. These connections are exactly what AASHTOWare Connect is designed to foster—and they underscore the strength and collaboration of our community within the transportation sector.

We hope the conversations and connections formed at the conference continue well beyond the event, driving meaningful innovation to help your agency meet its goals this year.
