Citywide Decision Support
Smarter Asset Planning with Data-Driven Clarity
What is Citywide Decision Support?
Citywide Decision Support is infrastructure planning software—an add-on to Citywide Assets, that works with data across the Citywide Software Suite to build and compare infrastructure project scenarios.
It uses asset condition, risk, performance, and lifecycle information to create levels-of-service scenarios from different asset intervention strategies, generating unlimited scenarios and comparing up to four scenarios simultaneously against available budget dollars.
Key Outcomes
No more guessing. Make defensible infrastructure investment decisions with the data, tools, and clarity to back every decision.
Smarter Scenario Modeling
Generate unlimited infrastructure scenarios and compare up to four simultaneously against actual budget dollars, with a proprietary algorithm automatically identifying the optimal outcome.
Flexible Prioritization and Levels of Service
Define levels-of-service scenarios with customized weightings across risk, performance, and lifecycle data, with automatic validation flagging any scenario that falls outside budget feasibility.
Visual Mapping and Dynamic Reporting
Map assets by performance and risk across time periods and instantly produce dynamic graphs and tables ready for council, senior management, and the public.
Data-Driven Budget Forecasting
Ground long-term budget forecasting in accurate asset data to support defensible, data-driven investment decisions and drive measurable savings.
The Difference That Digital Data-Driven Planning Makes
Spreadsheets and single-scenario thinking can only take you so far. See how Citywide Decision Support changes what's possible when it comes to infrastructure planning.

Citywide Decision Support FAQ
How does scenario modeling work?
Our proprietary algorithm generates unlimited infrastructure scenarios based on different asset intervention strategies. You can compare up to four scenarios at once, with automatic validation flagging any that exceed your budget. The algorithm identifies the optimal outcome aligned with your infrastructure planning goals.
Can I customize how assets are prioritized?
Yes. Define levels-of-service scenarios with customized weightings across risk, performance, and lifecycle data (e.g., 40% risk, 60% performance). The system automatically validates whether your scenario falls within budget feasibility.
What types of reports can I generate?
You can instantly produce dynamic graphs and tables ready for council, senior management, and the public. Assets can be mapped by performance and risk across different time periods, making complex scenarios easy to communicate.
Is Citywide Decision Support integrated with other Citywide software modules?
Yes, it works with data across the entire Citywide Software Suite and is an add-on to Citywide Assets. This integration ensures you’re using comprehensive asset condition, risk, and lifecycle information for all your planning.
Who should use Citywide Decision Support?
It’s built for organizational leadership and asset management teams responsible for long-term infrastructure health and funding — including municipal governments, transportation authorities, water & utilities, education systems, parks & conservation, and Public Works departments.
How does this help with budget forecasting?
Citywide Decision Support grounds long-term budget forecasting in accurate asset data, supporting defensible, data-driven investment decisions. This approach drives savings across your entire asset maintenance program by identifying optimal intervention strategies.
Take the Next Step in Infrastructure Planning
Take control of your long-term infrastructure strategy. Transform your asset data into clear, actionable financial and risk scenarios and build plans that hold up — now and in the future.
