Costs are total project costs (design and construction) as listed in the plan, read automatically from the PDF. The plans schedule work by the state's fiscal year (July to June), which can differ from an authority's own. Proposed projects are not funded until the state approves them, and plans change: costs rise, projects slip or get split into phases. Check the plan itself before relying on a number.
