From Data to Decisions: Innovative Approaches to Bridge Inspection, Management, and Preservation

As part of the Western Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (WASHTO) 2026 technical program, RS&H’s Corey Rogers will moderate a panel discussion featuring transportation leaders from the Federal Highway Administration, Montana Department of Transportation, and Texas Department of Transportation.

The session will explore how agencies are leveraging advanced data collection methods, digital inspection technologies, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and analytics-driven approaches to improve bridge condition assessments, guide preservation strategies, and optimize infrastructure investments.

Panelists will share perspectives on:

• Advancements in bridge inspection and monitoring technologies
• Data integration, management, and visualization tools
• Strategies for translating bridge data into actionable investment decisions
• Asset management best practices and emerging industry trends
• Lessons learned from agency implementation efforts

Together, these discussions highlight how improved access to data and technology is helping transportation agencies make more informed decisions, extend asset life, improve safety, and maximize the value of infrastructure investments.
