Intercity Transit has historically incorporated capital project planning into the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), Transportation Development Plan (TDP), and the agency’s annual budgeting process. The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a new tool designed to consolidate these efforts, improve coordination with the operating budget, and provide greater visibility into long-term capital needs.

The 2027-2030 TIP is consistent with projects that are identified in Intercity Transit’s long-range capital and budget planning documents including the 2025-2030 Transit Development Plan, and the 2026-2031 Strategic Plan. Both of these documents are published and available on the agency website. The agency’s TIP is the first step in the annual cycle of reviewing and updating IT’s planning documents and identifying projects that need to be programmed into the state and federally required State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Additionally, this process provides an opportunity to encourage public input and participation in the programming of federally funded projects.

Intercity Transit has always maintained plans for implementing capital projects. These plans have been utilized in our Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), Transportation Development Plan (TDP) and Intercity Transit’s annual budgeting process. This Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a new planning tool to further articulate these plans and bring them all together to coordinate with the operating budget. The CIP will be updated every year for inclusion in the annual budget process, discussions, and approvals. The CIP must be fiscally constrained and maintain the purpose of keeping all assets at a state of good repair to protect Intercity Transit’s capital investments and minimize future maintenance and replacement costs. Five-year forecasts also help mitigate challenges of applying a one-year budget to multi-year projects. Using this methodology will also help in long-range financial forecasting.
