2015 CAPITAL PROGRAM <br />The Capital Program is a multi-year plan for <br />the preservation, expansion and improvement <br />of the regional transit, wastewater and parks <br />systems. The Council adopts a program level <br />budget for each division (Tables 9, 10 and 11). <br />Projects are grouped into "Programs" based on <br />their similarities (for example, bus replacement, <br />wastewater treatment facility or parks <br />implementing agency). Individual projects <br />within a program can be found in Appendix G. <br />Programs carry forward from year to year and <br />are added, removed and changed through the <br />Council's amendment process. <br />The 2015 Capital Program totals $8.02 billion <br />and includes authorized (current) and planned <br />(future) projects. <br />Capital Program by <br />Function $8.02 Billion <br />Other Transit <br />$1.43 <br />4% Parks <br />$0.34 <br />Wastewater <br />$1.59 <br />Transitways <br />$4.66 <br />Transportation (Transitways and Other Transit) <br />is the largest portion of the capital program. <br />$4.36 billion of transitway projects are <br />authorized and planned Federal New Starts <br />for light rail projects. <br />Capital Program without <br />Transitways by Category: $3.37 Billion <br />Improvements <br />$0.26 <br />Expansion <br />$0.60 <br />18% <br />74% <br />Preservation <br />$2.51 <br />Preserving regional capital investments is the <br />highest priority of the capital program.
