Statewide Capital Investment Strategy
FY 2011 - 2020
Overview
The 10 Year Statewide Capital Investment Strategy (SCIS) (pdf 1.8m) is a
decision-making tool used to develop investment options for transportation program categories based upon goals, objectives, and performance measures.
The SCIS represents an “asset management” approach to addressing our transportation needs. Asset Management is a systematic, comprehensive approach
and process for maintaining, upgrading and operating physical assets cost-effectively.
The SCIS is the product of a collaborative effort involving the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), NJ TRANSIT, the New Jersey
Turnpike Authority (NJTA), and the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA). In addition, the State’s three Metropolitan Planning Organizations –
the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, and the South Jersey Transportation Planning
Organization – were partners in the process to develop the SCIS.
The goal of the SCIS is to develop an annual spending level that can achieve the performance objectives of the NJDOT, NJT, NJTA and SJTA. The SCIS
provides strategic direction in the formulation of the 10 Year Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan and the Annual
Transportation Capital Program and identifies the projected performance over time, subject to investment scenarios.
The SCIS includes transportation investments in common categories across agencies, rather than separate strategies for each
agency. This integrated approach provides a foundation for understanding the total state investment needed in roads, bridges, and public transit. It
fosters a collaborative approach to making the best use of available transportation funding, which, in turn, provides for the most efficient and
effective use of resources.
