Raleigh, N.C. — In a continued effort to maintain transparency and comply with Session Law 2019-251 enacted by the N.C. General Assembly, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) releases its “Cash Watch Numbers” report each Friday, offering a weekly snapshot of the department’s expenditures and cash flow.

The report, which is publicly available on the NCDOT website, details the department’s financial activity, including beginning and ending cash balances, receipts, and disbursements categorized by major expenditure areas. It also includes a summary of “reserved cash” held in a Trustee Account for specific project funding, such as Build NC bonds, GARVEE bonds, and Energy Savings-Roadway lighting initiatives.

In weeks when NCDOT offices are closed due to holidays, the report is issued on the next available business day.

“These weekly reports help keep the public informed about how transportation dollars are being managed and spent,” NCDOT officials said. “They reflect our ongoing commitment to financial transparency and accountability.”

While weekly cash balances provide a current snapshot, NCDOT notes that they fluctuate daily as revenue is received and disbursements are made. The official monthly cash balance is determined at the close of each month once all financial activity is reconciled and verified. As such, the weekly figures are not intended to represent final monthly totals.
