FOUR SOURCES.
TWO DIFFERENT UNITS.

Schedule = PID

A schedule identifies what is being delivered and when. Follow its phase, forecast, actual dates and reported changes.

One schedule can use several budgets

Budget = funding line

A budget line is identified by its managing agency and FMS ID together. Follow reported budget and spending.

One budget can fund several schedules
Schedule history

Dates, phases and changes

Budget history

Budget and spend over time

Budget by fiscal year

City / non-city funding

Budget + schedule

The links between both sides

Do not add schedules and budget lines into a single “project count.” Shared funding must be counted once when totaling the portfolio.

WHAT THE SNAPSHOT
CAN TELL YOU

10

Reporting snapshots

May 2023 through May 2026
January · May · September cadence

All four local sources share May 2026 as their latest complete reporting period.

Coverage has boundaries

  • Includes the City’s published reportable population; it is not an inventory of every NYC capital investment.
  • Schedule counts here use the dashboard-aligned population.
  • Native schedule history also retains observations outside that dashboard population.
  • Latest local ingestion: September 5, 2026. Upstream freshness was not rechecked.

Reporting month, agency/source update dates and local ingestion date describe different events. This presentation is a saved snapshot, not a live feed.

Read lifecycle first

Pre-Design → Design → Construction Procurement → Construction → Close-out.

Completed schedules can remain in the snapshot while their funding lines stay open.

Read dates in context

Many milestone dates are suppressed outside reporting phases. A blank date does not automatically indicate missing data.

Schedule changes are signed: dates can move earlier or later.

May 2026 · One record per PID in the dashboard-aligned schedule snapshot. Lifecycle status is the MCP’s derived classification.

27.3%

Spend / budget

Aggregate spending ratio

Funding can precede a schedule

Budget lines can exist before Design, or for work that does not require schedule reporting. A line without a linked PID can be normal.

A financial measure

The spending ratio is not a construction completion percentage. These budgets span projects and years; this is not one year’s City capital budget.

May 2026 · Sum each (managing agency, FMS ID) once. Figures rounded; no PID-level attributed budgets are added together.

AGENCY COUNTS
DEPEND ON THE ROLE

13

Schedule managers

Agencies reporting the 3,063 schedules

25

Budget holders

Agencies holding the 5,647 funding lines

12

Additional holders

Appear as holders, not schedule managers

Sponsor: who owns / funds it

Use the sponsor view for an owner agency’s portfolio. Its work may be built by another agency.

Manager: who delivers / holds it

On schedules, the manager executes the work. On budgets, the manager label identifies the funding holder.

May 2026 · Distinct codes in the schedule and budget breakdowns, not dictionary rows. DDC, DCAS and EDC default to the managing view; other agencies default to sponsor. Co-owner portfolios can overlap.

Top 6 category buckets by reported budget · May 2026

22

Category buckets

From water, streets and bridges to libraries, housing, health and public safety.

Each budget line belongs to one curated category. Classification uses stable funding and ownership signals.

“Other / Uncategorized” is included: $1.1B, or 0.7% of the total.

Category totals are additive at the budget-line level. Schedule category counts can overlap because a PID may link to budgets in several categories.

START WITH THE QUESTION.
THEN CHOOSE THE LENS.

“When will it be delivered?”

Find its PID, then inspect schedule dates, lifecycle and reporting-period changes.

“How much funding is reported?”

Find the budget-holder + FMS ID pair. Inspect every linked schedule and budget.

“What is this agency’s portfolio?”

Choose owner/sponsor or builder/manager before counting or comparing.

Sources & methodology

Queried live through OD-CPD MCP: dataset_info, list_agencies, schedule_breakdown and budget_breakdown. All headline counts use May 2026.

Exact tool responses and reproducible query metadata are embedded in this HTML.

Schedule and budget counts refer to different entities. Never infer a reciprocal 1:1 relationship from a single link. No changes to the source data were made.
