Kings Highway Capital Transportation Program (CTP)
Why is the Kings Highway Capital Transportation Program (CTP) important?
Kings Highway improvements will not occur until at the earliest, mid-2027 unless we gain an expedited funding decision. A major CTP lobbying effort is called for to not only maintain the current priority #6 ranking but also to get adequate funding applied on a line-item basis. Meanwhile, Mitchell Farm and other development projects will occur, worsening the already failing highway situation.

CTPBrochure2013-01-17.pdfEach year the Department of Transportation develops a 6-year Capital Transportation Plan (CTP) that identifies anticipated capital investments. This plan is developed in cooperation with the Wilmington Area Planning Council (WILMAPCO), Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization and Sussex County. The plan provides information on the actual cost expenditures for each project phase that are anticipated in each specific fiscal year.
The documentation below provides detailed information about the Capital Transportation Program (CTP) for the State of Delaware. You will learn about the critieria that is applied to prioritize individual projects like The Kings Highway CTP and the role the Council on Transportation plays in the process.
DelDOT_project_prioritization_criteria_summary.pdfDelDOT Project Prioritization Criteria Summary
The criteria selected for the enhanced method of prioritization for projects to be considered for inclusion into the 6 year Capital Transportation Program were based on several factors:
DelDOT’s Mission Statement, Vision, and Goals
DelDOT’s current prioritization Process (1998)
Provisions from TITLE 29 CHAPTER 84 § 8419 of the Delaware Code
Provisions from the latest Federal Authorization Bill - MAP-21

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) began the process to enhance the prioritization process to provide greater transparency and accountability to the public for projects included in the 6-year Capital Transportation Program (CTP) and to ensure that all projects are consistent with the mission, vision and goals of the department.

Prioritization Criteria for the Enhanced Prioritization Process
The proposed DelDOT's prioritization criteria is currently under consideration by the Council on Transportation. The reasons for the proposed changes are:
Current process was adopted in December 2013
DelDOT’s current investments in data collection allows the opportunity for more “data-driven”
process
Other criteria have evolved, possibly better able to “drive the CTP”
