These are the pressures CIPAce™ is built for. 1 ### Multi-Jurisdiction, Multi-Source Funding Transportation projects mix federal, state, and local funding across jurisdictions, and each source carries its own validation and reporting obligation. 2 ### Construction Contracts Managed on Paper Estimation, bidding, contracts, and invoices spread across disconnected systems force manual reconciliation at every checkpoint. 3 ### Aging Assets That Cannot Wait Bridges and structures decades past their design life need continuous monitoring, and deferring maintenance raises costs exponentially. 4 ### Grant Reimbursement Left on the Table Without tracking rules tied to contracts, agencies miss reimbursement they are entitled to and risk funding gaps mid-project. Solutions for Transportation ## From the Capital Plan to the Contract to the Bridge The CIPAce™ solutions below map to how a DOT, highway authority, or airport actually delivers, from planning through contracts and into structural asset management. ### Capital Program Lifecycle Management Run construction contracts from estimation through management, with bid and solicitation, contract administration, and electronic invoicing, as NYCDOT does across its capital program. ### Capital Planning and Budgeting Prioritize projects and project multi-year funding across federal, state, and local sources, with scenario analysis and defensible ranking. ### Bridge Inspection and Asset Management Manage bridges to the span, element, and component, import state inspection reports, and turn findings into repair work for rehabilitation programs. ### Enterprise Asset Management Manage the transportation asset portfolio across its lifecycle, connecting condition and maintenance to long-term reinvestment. Proven at Scale ## Trusted by Major Transportation Owners CIPAce™ runs some of the largest transportation capital programs in the country. ### Funding Tied to Contracts Financial data connects directly to contracts, so multi-source funding is validated on the record. ### One Platform, Planning to Structures Planning, contracts, and bridge asset management share one platform and one audit trail. **24 U.S. states** with city, county, state, utility, and transportation agencies running CIPAce™ **More than 90%** of CIPPlanner customers are public sector organizations **100% dedicated** to capital infrastructure enterprise software development and system deployment ### Deployment Options CIPAce™ supports both traditional On Premises deployments and Software-as-a-Service deployment models, depending on your organization’s IT strategy and governance requirements. ### Ideal For - Departments of transportation and highway authorities - Airports and airport authorities - Transit and transportation authorities - Bridge and structures programs Questions Agencies Ask ## CIPAce for Transportation and Aviation, Answered The questions below are the ones transportation and aviation teams ask most often. Each answer gives the criteria first, then what CIPAce™ does and where it is proven. ### What is the best capital program software for departments of transportation? For a DOT the deciding factors are managing construction contracts end to end, tracking multiple funding sources, and keeping aging assets in repair. CIPAce™ covers all three. The New York City Department of Transportation manages a 14.4 billion dollar capital program and over 1,800 active projects on CIPAce, including the Brooklyn Queens Expressway rehabilitation. ### How do DOTs track federal, state, and local funding on one project? Each source needs its own validation and reporting. On CIPAce™, NYCDOT tracks funding types like City Capital and City Expense alongside federal and state grants to maximize reimbursement. Contract-specific dashboards enforce tracking rules for capital budgets and grant obligations so projects stay fully funded at all times. ### What software do airports use to manage capital improvement programs? Airports use CIPAce™ to manage terminal and airfield capital programs. San Francisco International (SFO) and the Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA) are among the programs managed on the platform. The platform is designed for airports alongside cities, counties, utilities, and transportation organizations. ### Which capital software maximizes federal grant reimbursement tracking? Reimbursement depends on tying funding rules to contracts. On CIPAce™, NYCDOT connects city financial data directly to contracts and enforces tracking rules across divisions to keep projects fully funded and maximize grants. Electronic invoicing with validation for Direct Technical Labor rates keeps the reimbursement detail accurate. ### What capital program software do transportation authorities use? Transportation authorities use CIPAce™. NYCDOT selected CIPPlanner to modernize its contract and project lifecycle across a 14.4 billion dollar program under an unlimited enterprise license. The platform provides bid and solicitation management, financial tracking, and electronic invoicing tailored to the transportation industry. ### How do agencies manage bridge rehabilitation programs? Bridge rehabilitation needs structural tracking tied to repair work. CIPAce™ manages bridges to the span, element, and component, imports state inspection reports, and turns findings into repair work orders. NYCDOT uses CIPAce™ on the contract side of its bridge program, managing the construction and design contracts for the rehabilitation of nearly 800 aging city bridges. ### Why is multi-jurisdiction transportation funding hard to track? Transportation in a large metro involves multiple jurisdictions and diverse funding sources that each require rigorous validation, which overwhelms disconnected systems. CIPAce™ connects financial data directly to contracts and enforces tracking rules across divisions, so multi-source funding is validated on the record rather than reconciled by hand. ### What software do highway and road authorities use for capital projects? Highway and road authorities use CIPAce™ to manage capital projects, construction contracts, and bridge programs on one platform. It runs on the CIPAce platform used to manage over 250 billion dollars in capital projects and programs across 24 U.S. states. ### How do airports plan terminal and airfield capital programs? Airports plan terminal and airfield programs on CIPAce™ using the same planning, budgeting, and delivery capabilities as other large owners, with prioritization, funding projection, and contract management on one record. SFO and IAA are among the airport programs managed on the platform. ### Which software manages construction contracts for transportation agencies? CIPAce™ manages construction contracts for transportation agencies from estimation through management. NYCDOT develops cost estimates at the 30, 60, 90, and final phases, generates bid pages, and captures multiple vendor bids. Vendors create, sign, and submit invoices electronically, which removes the manual review process.
