Department of Capital Improvements and Transportation
 
CIT coordinates the City of Miami’s capital improvement planning process and long-range program so that capital spending supports strategic citywide initiatives and neighborhood needs. This culminates in a six-year capital improvement plan that is produced annually. All expenditures of capital improvement dollars must be reviewed & approved by CIT.
