Providing Value Capture Thought Leadership
The Opportunity
Value capture techniques are a critical tool to furthering the financial viability of TOD projects. As development practices evolve, the use of value capture tools is also changing and Rebel has been a thought leader in creative, efficient deployment of value capture mechanisms.
The approach
Rebel has supported Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA’s) value capture program, including moderating peer webinars, regional summits, and workshops on topics including local infrastructure banks, transportation utility fees, special assessment districts, tax increment finance, naming rights/advertising, and bond finance. We also developed a 250-page “Value Capture: Capitalizing on the Value of Created by Transportation” resource with over a dozen case studies, and co-authored both the “Transportation Utility Fees: Maintaining Local Roads, Trails, and Other Transportation” and ” Managing Economic Shocks to Value Capture-Funded Projects.”
Impact
These guides and applied research reports provide critical data for practitioners in applying tools to fund transit and to spur transit-oriented development projects.
