Transportation agencies are responsible for planning, delivering, and maintaining complex infrastructure systems that support economic activity and community mobility. Capital improvement programs often involve large, multi-year investments funded through multiple sources, requiring careful coordination, prioritization, and oversight.
CIPPlanner supports transportation agencies with technology designed to manage the full lifecycle of capital programs. CIPAce™ application systems enable agencies to plan and prioritize investments, manage funding and cash flow projections, and coordinate stakeholders across planning, design, construction, and closeout phases.
Transportation-focused CIPAce™ implementations support critical business processes such as contract management, invoice review and approval, and coordination across projects, contracts, and budget constraints. By centralizing data and automating workflows, CIPAce™ helps agencies streamline capital program management while maintaining transparency and control.
These capabilities support informed decision-making and improve coordination across departments and external partners throughout the program lifecycle.
CIPPlanner delivers enterprise-grade capital program management at scale. For the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT), CIPPlanner implemented a comprehensive, lifecycle-based Capital Project Management System (CPMS) that supports the planning, delivery, and oversight of one of the largest and most complex transportation capital programs in the country.
Through the CIPAce™ application suite, NYC DOT manages nearly 2,000 active capital and grant-funded projects, representing a multi-billion dollar capital program, within a single, integrated platform. CIPAce™ provides end-to-end visibility, from planning and cost estimation through procurement, construction, and closeout, enabling informed decision-making and consistent governance across diverse programs and delivery models.
Designed for transparency and financial accountability, CIPAce™ delivers real-time financial tracking, budget control, and automated validation across projects, contracts, change orders, and invoices. Role-based workflows, integrated approvals, and audit-ready reporting ensure that financial data remains accurate, traceable, and aligned with agency policies at every stage. Native integrations with NYC DOT’s financial systems and electronic signature tools further streamline approvals while maintaining data integrity across organizational levels.
By centralizing project, financial, and contractual data in a single system, CIPAce™ empowers NYC DOT with unprecedented visibility and control, supporting transparency, risk management, and confident oversight across one of the world’s most demanding urban transportation capital programs.
Managing an airport’s capital program requires more than tracking projects—it demands disciplined planning, clear governance, and transparency across budgets, approvals, and funding changes. For San Francisco International Airport, CIPPlanner implemented the Capital Planning System (CPS) to support the full capital planning and funding lifecycle—from scenario planning through funding decisions and controlled budget movements.
CPS enables rolling multi-year, multi-scenario capital planning across divisions, allowing stakeholders to compare alternatives and capture changes as plans move through governance review stages (from initial division submissions to committee and commission-level approvals). To maintain continuity year over year, CPS supports cycle-to-cycle roll-forward, efficiently transferring budget and project data from a selected scenario into the next planning cycle.
The system maintains multi-level project hierarchies (from master programs down to contract/implementation projects) and departmental hierarchies with role assignments, ensuring portfolio rollups are consistent and that access and participation in reviews and approvals are clearly governed. CPS also supports Funding Requests for contract procurement and internal funding transfer requests (MII) to move budget allocations between projects based on approved planning and project scoping/financial data.
By standardizing scenario-based planning and funding workflows, CPS helps stakeholders align priorities, maintain continuity across cycles, and manage budget changes with confidence.
Established as a municipal corporation in 1962, the Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA) owns, develops, and operates six airports within the Indianapolis metropolitan area. IAA is governed by an eleven-member board appointed by city, county, and regional officials. Indianapolis International Airport (IND) plays a significant role in regional commerce and employment. On an average day, more than 10,000 people work onsite, and approximately 22,600 area jobs are connected to airport operations, contributing an estimated $5.4 billion in annual economic impact. CIPPlanner supports airport capital programs by providing technology that enables structured planning, coordination, and oversight across complex infrastructure initiatives.
