Statewide Capital Investment Strategy
FY 2013 - 2022
Overview
The 10 Year Statewide Capital Investment Strategy (SCIS)
(pdf 4.7m) 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.
