The CIP guides how the Commonwealth prioritizes and funds local and statewide transportation projects, including railroad, transit, accessibility upgrades, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, roadway and bridge improvements, and municipal projects.

The plan describes both projects and programs for improving transportation throughout Massachusetts, including local aid programs that support municipalities, regional transit authorities, and other entities. This plan is updated annually, and outlines planned investments for the next five years. The FY25-29 CIP includes $16.5 billion in investments across modes and transportation networks.
