SANTA FE — New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) has launched a first-of-its-kind capital outlay dashboard that provides the public, policymakers, and local governments with transparent, interactive access to funding information for schools, roads, parks, water systems and other infrastructure projects.
The user-friendly dashboard is part of DFA's Capital Projects System. The platform tracks legislative appropriations for critical projects, detailing funding, expenditures, and progress. By allowing users to monitor project status and ensure compliance with appropriation reversion periods, the dashboard reinforces fiscal responsibility in the development of community assets.
"This dashboard gives us a powerful tool to track project timelines and ensure capital funds are deployed efficiently across the state," said DFA Secretary Wayne Propst. "This level of visibility benefits everyone involved in the capital outlay process, as well as providing the public greater transparency in capital outlay than ever before."
"Our Infrastructure Division's mission is to create innovative solutions to bring a fresh look to traditional programs and there's no better example of our work than this new dashboard and system," said Infrastructure Division Director Wesley Billingsley. "We'll continue to improve our system, so projects are better planned, funded, and ultimately built."
Users can filter data to view specific projects, track spending, and monitor project status while ensuring funds are expended in accordance with reversion periods. It also provides the recent data for all capital outlay funding earmarks including, public school, water trust, colonias, tribal infrastructure, housing trust and art in public places.
The public can interact with the dashboard at, caps.nm.gov.
