Harrisburg, PA\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 Treasurer Stacy Garrity announced today that upgrades have been made to Treasury\u2019s award-winning\u00a0Transparency Portal<\/a>, improving access to state budget and spending details.<\/p>\n

Users can now see calculated totals in the portal\u2019s\u00a0Total Expenditures<\/a>\u00a0and 2023-2024\u00a0Budget<\/a>,\u00a0Augmenting Revenue<\/a>,\u00a0Revenue<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Expenditures<\/a>\u00a0sections, making it easier for users to compare current figures with those of previous years. The upgrade also allows users to see further agency-level details.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis latest update to Treasury\u2019s Transparency Portal makes it much easier for users to see totals for many budgetary items,\u201d Garrity said. \u201cIncreasing government transparency is always a top priority for me, and this is another tremendous step forward \u2013 giving Pennsylvanians an even better opportunity to see how every tax dollar is spent so they can hold their government accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Transparency Portal also includes tools to review\u00a0state budget<\/a>\u00a0details, the\u00a0Fiscal Health Scorecard<\/a>, which presents financial data comparing Pennsylvania with similar states, and the\u00a0Treasury Checkbook<\/a>\u00a0that discloses payments made by Treasury to its vendors. The\u00a0Contracts e-Library<\/a>\u00a0allows anyone to review state agency contracts valued at $5,000 or more.<\/p>\n

Treasury\u2019s Transparency Portal includes data back to 2014. Since taking office, Treasurer Garrity has added numerous features to the site, including access to Ledger 5, which tracks unappropriated expenses, and the ability to see county- and state-level data about Pennsylvania\u2019s unclaimed property program, the PA 529 College and Career Savings Program, Keystone Scholars, and the PA ABLE Savings Program.<\/p>\n

Treasury\u2019s Transparency Portal has won numerous awards, including the 2022 Government Experience Project Award from the Center for Digital Government, the 2018 CIO 100 Award, a Digital Edge 50 Award, and the 2017 PA Excellence in Technology Award. It was named a finalist for the NASCIO 2018 Data Management and Analytics Award.<\/p>\n
