MTA Monthly Operating Expenses and Revenues from 2019

MTA Statement of Operations provides monthly financial data on the authority's operating expenses and revenues, categorized by agency, expense type, and budget scenario. Data originates from the MTA's annual budgeting process and is available on an accrual basis beginning in the 2019 fiscal year. The dataset is published by data.ny.gov.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in 'Amount' by 'Expense Type' and 'Agency' over 'Financial Plan Year' to identify cost drivers.
• Compare 'Actuals' versus 'Budgeted Plan' amounts in the 'Scenario' column for variance analysis and fiscal oversight.
• Model monthly ('Month') revenue and expense patterns across 'Fiscal Year' for cash flow forecasting.
• Aggregate financial data by 'Subtype' and 'General Ledger' code to audit specific operational categories.

Strengths

• Data is categorized by multiple dimensions including 'Agency', 'Expense Type', 'Scenario', and 'Subtype'.
• Provides monthly granularity within each fiscal year for detailed temporal analysis.
• Covers multiple fiscal years of operational data beginning from 2019.

Limitations

• Exact row count and total data size are unknown, limiting assessment of scope.
