The Conference Committee for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 budget is actively working to reconcile all spending, policy, and technical differences between the House and Senate budgets, with the goal of delivering a compromise spending bill to the Governor’s desk by July 1st

In this Conference Committee preview, MTF reviews the original recommendations of the Transportation Finance Task Force, assesses how the House and Senate budgets meet those recommendations, and provides a roadmap for how the investments in the FY 2026 operating budget and Innovation and Capital Fund supplemental budget can provide meaningful support to the state’s transportation systems.
