New York City’s Capital Program
Our city’s infrastructure – its roads, sewers, parks and schools – is funded and managed through the city’s capital program. This website uses NYC Open Data to explore the capital program’s four phases: Strategy, Budget, Commitments and Projects.
Strategy
The Mayor’s Office of Management & Budget (OMB) updates a 10-Year Strategy document every 2 years, organizing the plan by project types and categories.
Budget
The Mayor submits an Executive Capital Budget for approval by the City Council every year. This breaks the strategy into budget lines that will fund specific projects.
Commitments
OMB publishes a Capital Commitment Plan three times a year that schedules agency capital spending. These commitments make it possible for agencies to fund projects.
Capital Projects
We combined over a dozen datasets from four different city agencies to create the most comprehensive publicly available capital project profiles.
Our map uses data from Capital Projects Database (CPDB) - Projects (Polygons), Capital Projects Database (CPDB) - Projects (Points) datasets.
