Overview
The SamTrans Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a comprehensive list of SamTrans and District shared services’ anticipated capital needs for the next 10 years, including projects required to meet regulatory and legal mandates, maintain state of good repair, fully transition to a zero-emission fleet, and advance priority projects and strategic plan initiatives. It is a long-term planning tool that informs the biennial budget process. The most recent CIP covered FY26-35 and was adopted by the SamTrans Board of Directors in July 2025. The CIP will next be updated for FY28-37 over an approximately 12-month period.
Purpose
The approved FY26–29 CIP recommends $479 million in capital projects based on available District and external funding. The companion 10-Year Capital Program for FY26-35 identifies an unconstrained list of longer-term capital needs totaling nearly $2 billion through FY35. While adoption of the plan does not commit funds to individual projects, it provides a roadmap for how the District will prioritize and pursue capital investments.
The CIP aligns with the District’s recently adopted strategic plan, Moving San Mateo County. The CIP’s key investment areas and project evaluation criteria are directly aligned with the Strategic Plan goals, the CIP shares the same planning horizon through 2035, and the prioritization process specifically elevates projects that advance strategic plan initiatives.
