State Revolving Funds (CWSRF) and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (DWSRF) may be used on digital infrastructure technologies, such as system controls, hydraulic analysis, geographic information systems, and asset management systems. Our advocacy also helped to shape the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, which set Congressional priorities for the Federal Aviation Administration through 2028. Most significantly, the act made ADCM systems eligible for funds through the Airport Improvement Program. Bentley looks forward to supporting increasingly varied efforts by airport authorities to use federal dollars on digital infrastructure technologies to reduce project costs, accelerate project delivery, and build the resilient, sustainable airports of the future.

Bentley advocates and engages with policymakers around the world to promote the advantages and benefits of digital transformation, as well as more valuable data, assets, and project leadership. Our Government Relations and Infrastructure Policy Advancement teams coordinate with key stakeholders from all markets, finance, insurance, industry associations, and executive government departments to transform and advance infrastructure policy. These efforts result in better decisions, faster approvals, more innovative designs, higher efficiency construction methods, and more financially and environmentally viable operations. Our hope is that these practices yield better investments for economic growth and a sustainable environment.

Collaboration is key to our strategy to advance a global community actively working together for a sustainable [...]

Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your external engagement activities are consistent with your climate commitments and/or climate transition plan?[…]The external policies and engagement that Bentley advocates for almost exclusively promote decarbonization and a green transition. The reason is simple: Bentley's software offerings help owners and operators of infrastructure around the world design, construct, operate, and maintain their assets in more resilient and sustainable ways. As such, we promote policies that help our users (many of which are governments) reduce their carbon footprint.

Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?[…]No, but we plan to have one in the next two years
