Performance analysis

2023 Q4 (Q2 2023-2025 biennium)

Cash flows currently lower than original projections

WSDOT originally planned to have approximately $649.1 million in cumulative, combined PEF improvement and preservation cash flows at the end of the second quarter of the 2023-2025 biennium, and had $412.2 million in actual expenditures. The actual expenditures were on target with the currrent plan but approximately $236.9 million (36.5%) less than the orginial plan for biennium.

Current and actual cash flows can vary from originally planned cash flows for a number of reasons. For example, emergent projects may add cash flow to the current reporting quarter, whereas project deletions can remove cash flow.

As the biennium continues, WSDOT uses the original plan as a goal while working to meet the projections in the current plan. The current plan is more fluid and reflects quarterly changes due to projects being emergent, emergency, delayed, deferred, advanced or deleted.

WSDOT originally planned to have approximately $344.5 million in cumulative, combined PEF improvement and preservation cash flows at the end of the first quarter of the 2023-2025 biennium, and had $187.3 million in actual expenditures. The actual expenditures were on target with the currrent plan but approximately $157.3 million (45.6%) less than the orginial plan for biennium.

At the end of a biennium, funds not spent on active projects are reappropriated into the ensuing biennium, creating an expenditure plan that exceeds the PEF allotment plan. The allotment plan is adjusted when the first supplemental budget is approved. As an additional strategy, WSDOT may also over-program how many preservation projects are planned for a biennium to help ensure it uses all of its federal obligation authority.
