Fiscal Year 2026–27 · The capital ledger
Major projects
Every major capital, transportation and technology project the state publishes at project grain, with what it costs, what stage it is at, and who is being paid. Costs and status are read from official CDOT, JBC and IT-capital records; per-project spend-to-date is not published by the state and is left blank. The map of where these projects are is on the dashboard.
The ledger
FACT 50 projects Costs & status verified against official CDOT, JBC and IT-capital records. Each row links to its source.How to read this: the total cost and stage below are facts pulled from official records FACT. Two of the fifty totals are arithmetic instead: CSU Clark and MyUI+ add up parts one document states together, and each of those rows writes the addition out CALC. Stage ◌ Requested means the agency asked for the money in FY 2026-27 but JBC staff did not recommend funding it in figure-setting, the step where committee staff set a dollar amount for each line. Those projects sit on the state's prioritized waitlist, and we show them because what the state declines to fund is as telling as what it builds. Per-project spend-to-date is not published by the state at project grain, so it is shown as NOT PUBLISHED — we won't invent it. TOPS/CORE publish expenditures at vendor grain; the figure lands as those payments are resolved to contracts and projects. This batch covers 50 verified projects: every request over $10M in the FY 2026-27 capital figure-setting, every project over $10M in the enacted HB26-1410 capital schedule, plus major CDOT corridors and IT programs — each verified against the enacted bill where it appears.

Context from the projects above. MyUI+ now lives in the operating budget at $30.5M/yr, and DRIVES costs $10.1M/yr to keep running. What the old systems cost to run now rivals the entire new-IT budget.
What is built, and what is reported spent
Reported spent to date, per project NOT PUBLISHED
Not published — no publisher reports spend at project grain
Colorado publishes no expenditure at project grain. The one vendor-level feed that still works carries no project identifier at all, so it can say who was paid and not what for.
