Developing the Capital Investment Plan

Draft FY 2027–2031 Capital Investment Plan

MassDOT's Capital Investment Plan (CIP) includes all capital expenditures planned for the next five years for MassDOT's Divisions ─ Aeronautics, Highway, Rail and Transit, Registry of Motor Vehicles, and Planning and Enterprise Services. It also includes state-funded investments for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.

The Draft FY2027─31 CIP is now available for public review. Within this plan, MassDOT focuses investments on safety, reliability, asset management, partnerships with municipalities, and climate stewardship. With respect to this last category, the CIP incorporates strategies and investments to align with the Commonwealth’s strongly held goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to improve resiliency.

The Draft FY2027─31 CIP is available in PDF and StoryMap formats. Both cover the same material; however, the StoryMap version includes additional visualizations.
