InfraStrategies is developing a Business Plan for CCTA that will provide guidance on the financial resources, organizational capacities and key business practices to realize the agency focus areas and implement its responsibilities under the Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP). The Business Plan also includes business case analysis to help make the argument to stakeholders concerned about return on investment, and that investment in CCTA and in the CTP are a good use of public funds. As a critical component of this plan, InfraStrategies is working to develop new processes for screening technologies and unsolicited proposals, as well as decisions about the delivery of major capital projects. and new operational roles along with financial modeling, a funding strategy and an organizational assessment.  

The plan also includes the development of a detailed financial assessment, program financial model, and financial plan. InfraStrategies is working with CCTA to develop a 20-year cash flow model with project-level and programmatic capital and operating sources and uses. The model will serve as an important tool to inform CCTA’s prioritization decisions on potential capital and operating initiatives and will support the development of scenarios related to proposed ballot measures. The cash flow model will be used to test various funding options, estimate available revenues and costs, identify programmatic and project-level funding strategies, and support the development of a capital plan for the authority. The financial model will include revenue and cost estimates, a dynamic service costing tab, assumed revenue and cost growth rates, financing assumptions, and other key inputs.
