Capital Infrastructure Program (CIP) Overview
The maintenance and construction of city infrastructure is a core service of local government. In the past, the City of Los Angeles has presented infrastructure projects and maintenance of city facilities in a fragmented and disjointed way, by scattering information over a variety of reports including the annual budget, CTIP/CTIEP, and via siloed department-by-department capital plans. The real world effect of this fragmentation has meant that Los Angeles has been underfunding maintenance and capital projects for its streets, parks, buildings, and facilities.
Mayor Bass sought to change this by bringing 14 infrastructure-focused City departments and bureaus together to create one unified Capital Infrastructure Plan (CIP) for the City of Los Angeles. A CIP for LA is one of 5 major goals communicated in Executive Directive 9, which she released in October of 2024.
2026 Capital Infrastructure Program Los Angeles
Forging a New Path
A city’s infrastructure is fundamental to its livability, economy, and quality of life. Yet Los Angeles, unlike most major cities, has never had a clear strategy to finance, maintain, or build its infrastructure. Mayor Karen Bass set out to change this and under her leadership, the city is now releasing its first-ever Capital Infrastructure Program (CIP).
The 2026 CIP forges a new path for all Angelenos to partner with the Bass administration to improve how LA is planning and investing in the city. This CIP marks a historic step by releasing a first-ever roadmap to fund, fix, and build new infrastructure for the City’s future.
I became Mayor to change Los Angeles and tackle the longstanding challenges that past leaders avoided. Starting with the release of my infrastructure program, Los Angeles will now strategically plan and invest in the infrastructure that supports every Angeleno’s quality of life.– Karen Bass, Mayor of Los Angeles
