Costs often covered include roads\, utilities and public facilities. The goal is to have each new development share of the costs of off-site capital facilities needed to serve the new development—to help growth pay for itself and reduce the financial burden on the existing community. FHWA has recently developed a Developer Impact Fees – The Primer designed to provide information to transportation agencies that have DIF or are considering the use of DIF. The primer provides a practical information on what DIF is\, how it works\, where it used and case studies.\nState and local (city\, county\, township\, & tribe) transportation professionals are invited to a Value Capture Strategies: Developer Impact Fees-The Primer webinar on August 4\, 2021\, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM ET. The program will feature experts from leading state and local authorities sharing their Developer Impact Fees program including the processes\, requirements\, accounting & administration\, and much more. Participants have an opportunity interact with peer experts to gain an in-depth understanding the benefits and applicability of Developer Impact Fees. There is no cost to participate but the space is limited. You must register to reserve your connection/space. \nTargeted Audience \nThe webinar series is 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. \nAdditional Information \nSince 2019\, at least 33 cities 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. \nFor additional information\, please contact: \n * Thay Bishop\, FHWA Center Innovative Finance Support\, 404-562-3695\, thay.bishop@dot.gov mailto:thay.bishop@dot.gov\n * Stefan Natzke\, FHWA National Systems and Economic Development\, 202-366-5010\, Stefan.Natzke@dot.gov mailto:Stefan.Natzke@dot.gov \nResources: Available Now \n * Consult the Value Capture Implementation Manual for information applicable to all Value Capture strategies of roadway projects.\n * See the FHWA’s Value Capture website for case studies\, best practices\, lessons learned\, FAQs\, and resources.\n * Watch a short video https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ipd/value_capture/capacity_building/hot_topics_spotlights.aspx on how Value Capture optimizes agency resources.

Ideally\, agencies would have guidance or rules for assessing the potential benefit of bundling a set of projects. This webinar will provide guidance on how to employ ‘business rules’ consistently and strategically\, such that bundles are identified as early as possible; preferably to be included in the State’s Transportation Improvement Program\, or STIP.\nRegister Now. https://connectdotcqpub1.connectsolutions.com/content/connect/c1/7/en/events/event/shared/1112389207/event_registration.html?sco-id=1313956049 URL:https://njdottechtransfer.net/event/project-bundling-the-business-process/ LOCATION:NJ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210825T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210825T150000 DTSTAMP:20260427T195924 CREATED:20251205T195952Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251205T195952Z UID:21259-1629900000-1629903600@njdottechtransfer.net SUMMARY:NJLTAP – Innovating at the Local Public Works Level: Can you Build a Better Mousetrap? (Webinar) DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, come learn how the network of local technical assistance programs work with the Federal Highway Administration in the Build a Better Mousetrap competition to inspire innovation from local agencies around the country.\nWe’ll look at how Build a Better Mousetrap celebrates innovative solutions for challenges that local and tribal transportation workers encounter. These innovations can range from the development of tools and equipment modifications to the implementation of new processes that increase safety\, reduce cost\, and improve efficiency of our transportation system. \nYou just may leave the webinar thinking you’ve built a better mousetrap in your agency that you could enter in the next round of competition! \nRegister Now https://web.cvent.com/event/63c3ab88-34f0-4f05-ab2e-d6ac0b421b8f/summary URL:https://njdottechtransfer.net/event/njltap-innovating-at-the-local-public-works-level-can-you-build-a-better-mousetrap-webinar/ LOCATION:NJ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210825T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210825T190000 DTSTAMP:20260427T195924 CREATED:20251205T195952Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251205T195952Z UID:21260-1629910800-1629918000@njdottechtransfer.net SUMMARY:Value Capture Strategies: Special Assessment Districts – The Primer DESCRIPTION:Value Capture Strategies: Special Assessment Districts – The PrimerWednesday\, August 25\, 2021 1:00:00 PM EDT – 3:00:00 PM EDT\nREGISTER HERE https://connectdotcqpub1.connectsolutions.com/content/connect/c1/7/en/events/event/shared/1112389207/event_landing.html?connect-session=breezbreezy3f48xtv2khrkri9&sco-id=1303246898&_charset_=utf-8\nAs the Federal funding for surface transportation has declined or is diminished\, our infrastructure assets have reached the end of their useful lives. Adding to complexity is the state and local pressure to fund emerging needs such as “Smart City” initiatives to leverage new technologies and the complete street initiative to ensure safety to all mobility modes (walk\, bike\, scooter\, street car\, automobile\, etc.). The need for transportation improvements has far outpaced the available funding sources. Think about the Value Capture Special Assessment Technique!! Special Assessments can serve as gap funding for public road improvement projects. The technique can also be used to leverage federal and state grants\, attract private capital\, provide access to federal low interest rate loans\, and can seed funding to get the project off the ground. One of the powerful Value Capture techniques is a special assessment district and every state offers at least one type of Special Assessment funding & financing to its communities. It is a proven\, effective technique for funding improvements that directly benefits property owners and enhances property values in the special assessment district. Local jurisdictions may create special assessment districts around transportation infrastructure to share the cost from beneficiaries. They can be new fees or assessment on property owners within those areas to share transportation infrastructure investment. The assessment can be based on property value\, or sales\, special business fees\, or other measures of value\, and can last for a fixed duration of time. SADs generate revenue from both existing and future developments.\nFHWA has recently developed a Value Capture strategies: Special Assessment District (SAD) Primer – The Primer designed to provide information to state and local transportation agencies that have used or are considering the use of SAD. The primer provides practical information on what SAD is\, how it works\, where it used and case studies. Do you need funding for your state\, city\, county\, township\, and tribe? Do you know which revenue tools are available to fund improved services and capital expenditures in your community? Do you need infrastructure to accommodate your communities’ anticipated growth? Do you need assistance in implementing Value Capture Special Assessment.? Come to the Value Capture Virtual Peer Exchanges on August 25\,2021 at 1:00PM-3:00PM ET to learn from peer experts on opportunities and challenges of implementing Value Capture Special Assessment techniques. There is no cost to participate but space is limited. You must register to reserve your connection/space.
