FHWA launches webinar series on Value Capture Strategies beginning in January 2023.
The webinar series will spotlight the value capture techniques promoted by the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Everyday Counts (EDC-5) initiative. This year’s series focuses on the intersection of Federal innovative finance and innovative project delivery tools. These webinars will detail value capture best practices collected from across the nation and will re-introduce the series of value capture primers that FHWA published from 2020 to 2022.
Value capture is a set of powerful techniques that recover a portion of revenues created by public infrastructure investments and can:
• Address funding gaps
• Leverage and optimize Federal and State resources
• Accelerate project delivery using bridge/project bundling contracts
• Help achieve system performance goals
• Generate seed funding to get the project off the ground
• Maintain transportation infrastructure assets in good repair
• Save time and money
Intended Audience
These webinars are intended for professionals from States, cities, counties, tribes, and metropolitan and rural transportation agencies looking for innovative funding and financial strategies to pay for transportation projects. This would include professionals involved with directing and managing aspects of highway-related programs and projects, such as planning, environment, project development, design, construction, operations, maintenance, and finance.
The webinars will feature subject matter experts and peers who have successfully utilized value capture in tandem with innovative finance and project delivery techniques to advance new and modernized infrastructure projects. Certificates of completion and confirmations of attendance are available. Registration is free, but space is limited. Register today!
