Commission approves ODOT fiscal year 2027 budget work program; transcript contains unclear figures
Summary
The Transportation Commission approved the department's FY2027 budget work program, which the presenter said includes highway, local government, transit and freight programs. The transcript contains garbled numeric figures, so exact dollar amounts are not reliably extractable from the meeting record.
At the June 1 meeting the Transportation Commission approved Item 74, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation's fiscal year 2027 budget work program, after a presentation by Mr. Carter. Mr. Carter explained the department is required to submit a budget work program to the Office of Management and Enterprise Services each June to establish budget authority for the coming fiscal year and recommended the commission adopt the submission.
Mr. Carter described the program by category (highway, local government, transit and freight) and indicated the department's recommended totals for each. The transcript as provided to this report contains garbled numeric strings for those line items (the recorded dollar figures are not reliably legible in the transcript), so this article does not publish precise dollar amounts. The presenter stated that the highway program represents the largest share of the submission and that the department seeks commission approval to transmit the work program to state budget authorities.
Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the budget work program; the transcript records the passage but does not include a roll-call tally. The commission also noted staff presented the program individually to subcommittees earlier in the day.
