CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND (CPF)
OCTO's CPF Program
The Capital Projects Fund (CPF), established by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, is a $10 billion investment to support critical infrastructure that expands economic opportunity and provides high-quality connectivity. This funding enables states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to invest in capital projects that directly support work, education, and health monitoring.
DC has been allocated $15 million in CPF funding to support the deployment of broadband infrastructure in areas with the greatest need. With Treasury’s approval of DC’s CPF program plan, the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) is moving forward with the construction of a fiber-optic middle mile network in Ward 5 to promote a 10 Gbps symmetrical connection between the Trinidad Recreation Center and the backbone of the global internet through DC's open-access Internet Exchange Point ("IXP").
This investment will bring new connectivity and create opportunities for growth for residents. Reliable, high-speed internet access is foundational to economic mobility, education, healthcare, and civic participation. OCTO will use CPF funds to deliver sustainable improvements in broadband infrastructure and enable long-term digital access across the city.
