About the Series
Value capture capitalizes on the value that’s created by transportation investments, but it’s also a set of techniques. These techniques take advantage of the increase in property values, new transportation-related real estate opportunities, and the benefits of new transportation facilities to fund infrastructure improvements.
This series provides information and a how-to process for rural and urban transportation agencies to consider value capture for funding transportation projects. Value capture creates opportunities that allow agencies to decrease funding and financing gaps, apply lessons learned, and improve their understanding of the economic impact of transportation improvements.
This series includes three course modules. Learners may complete the modules that are most applicable to them.
