FHWA will launch its latest webinar series on value capture strategies beginning in January 2023. The webinar series will spotlight the value capture techniques promoted by the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA’s) Everyday Counts (EDC-5) initiative. This year’s series focuses on the intersection of Federal innovative finance and innovative project delivery tools. These webinars will detail value capture best practices collected from across the nation and will re-introduce the series of value capture primers that FHWA published from 2020 to 2022.

The webinars will feature subject matter experts and peers who have successfully utilized value capture in tandem with innovative finance and project delivery techniques to advance new and modernized infrastructure projects. Registration is free, but space is limited. Certificates of completion and confirmations of attendance are available! Register now!
These webinars are intended for professionals from States, cities, counties, tribes, and metropolitan and rural transportation agencies looking for innovative funding and financial strategies to pay for transportation projects. This would include professionals involved with directing and managing aspects of highway-related programs and projects, such as planning, environment, project development, design, construction, operations, maintenance, and finance.
Since 2019, at least 300 states and locals have implemented value capture techniques to fund new street infrastructure capital, maintenance, and preservation projects that can accommodate growth, support successful economic development/redevelopment, and create jobs and economic growth.
