Information Technology Gated Funding Oversight
The 2023-25 Operating and Transportation Budgets place certain IT projects under gated funding oversight by WaTech and the Office of Financial Management (OFM). These projects were assigned to the information technology investment revolving account (IT Pool) or otherwise made subject to the conditions and limitations of Section 701 of the Operating or Transportation Budgets. WaTech, in consultation with OFM, may identify additional projects to be subject to gated funding oversight. The gated funding oversight process is a version of the standard WaTech approval and oversight process with the additional element of gated funding.
