Capital improvement planning identifies and prioritizes investments for local infrastructure such as utilities, sidewalks, bikeways, schools, transit capital, and locally funded roads. Capital improvement planning efforts occur at the county and local level, and collaboration with the appropriate agencies can ensure transportation investment decisions are coordinated with local investments. During long range and corridor planning, capital improvement plans can inform strategies and potential solutions as well as help stretch limited funding through partnering to meet common needs and goals.
