We can’t get there because we can’t afford it….
Local governments often struggle to mobilize the necessary funds to maintain, rebuild and expand their local transportation networks. Planned projects often face funding or financing hurdles that may result in projects being delayed for years, if not indefinitely, leaving important safety and mobility objectives unmet.
Value capture refers to a set of techniques that take advantage of increases in property values linked to infrastructure investments to help fund current or future improvements. Under the right circumstances, this may allow practitioners to help close funding gaps and accelerate project delivery, as well as other real estate-related benefits.
Are you ready to look at opportunities to augment your funding?
Then sign up to participate in the upcoming webinar and to discuss opportunities to see from another point of view.

NOVEMBER 17-19, 2019 | SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS | #OPEN4INNOVATION
Mobility with a Future Focus. The Texas Innovation Alliance in partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), City of San Antonio, VIA Metropolitan Transit, Bexar County, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), and metropolitan regions across the state invite you to the fourth annual Texas Mobility Summit on November 17-19, 2019.
The Summit is a forum of innovation that brings together transportation leadership – policymakers, public agencies, research, industry, and community organizations – with the goal of developing shared solutions to the state’s most pressing mobility challenges. This year, the Alliance is focusing on coordinating mobility-as-a-service initiatives, developing connected and automated vehicle best practices, and strengthening the links between the transportation system and access to economic opportunities.
As a leader in transportation, you have an opportunity to connect with transportation decision makers around the country, learn about current mobility needs and future partnership opportunities, and shape the future of Texas transportation by contributing to Texas’ mobility action plan.
