DOT carried $302.6 bn in budget authority at close of Q3 FY2026

Paper: Government Spending Report
Day: 2026-08-22
What it shows: DOT holds large unspent budget balance as fiscal year winds down
The scene as painted: A grand federal building stands with a large stone façade, set against a clear blue sky with a few wispy clouds, as small figures of bureaucrats move about in the foreground, with a massive stack of cargo containers and construction equipment in the distance, symbolizing the unspent budget authority, under the warm light of a late afternoon sun, with a palette of muted grays, blues, and earth tones.
