Transportation

Keep the capital program moving — and every dollar accounted for.

One platform for every dollar your agency is responsible for — operating cash, multi-year capital programs, federal grant funds, bond proceeds, and the investment pool.

If this is how your finance office runs today, we built this for you.

Problem #1

Your real cash position is spread across the capital program, operating, grant funds, and reserves.

Only about 1 in 5 government and nonprofit organizations has real-time visibility into its liquidity position; more than 40% compile it by hand. At a transportation authority, that cash is spread across operating, bond proceeds, grant funds, and many banking relationships.

Between the sales-tax fund, the bond construction accounts, the federal grant draws, and operating, our actual position lives in a dozen bank portals and a spreadsheet I rebuild every morning.

What Monetary does

Protect, deploy, and optimize every dollar your agency is responsible for.

Protect every dollar

See every dollar. Catch every risk.

Visibility is how you protect public money and the capital program it funds. Operating cash, restricted bond proceeds, federal grant funds, debt service reserves, the investment pool, and the controls around them — in one place, in real time. A rate covenant drifting toward its limit, a mistyped wire, or a bank fee error surfaces the day it happens, not at year-end.

Why Monetary exists

Built for the way transportation authorities actually finance capital.

Federal grant compliance. GASB 87 and 96. Board-approved investment policy. Revenue-bond rate covenants. None of this exists in corporate finance — and no corporate platform can be configured into the workflows that handle it.

Every dollar tagged to a fund. Every fund reconcilable to the bank.

Transportation finance runs on fund accounting — operating, capital projects, debt service, debt service reserve, dedicated sales-tax and toll revenue funds. Monetary was designed around fund-level detail from day one — not retrofitted from a corporate ledger.

GASB 87 and 96, built in.

Lease and subscription schedules, disclosures, and journal entries designed for the standards your ACFR is audited against — across a decentralized agency where every division and garage signs commitments. For FASB-reporting organizations, ASC 842 is supported in the same platform.

Your investment policy and revenue-bond covenants, monitored live.

Your board-approved investment policy is enforced continuously inside Monetary — not checked quarterly in a spreadsheet. Rate covenants, debt service coverage, and additional-bonds tests tracked against the system of record. If a position or a ratio drifts toward its limit, you find out the same day, with audit-ready evidence at any moment.

Revenue funds, grant draws, custodians, and bond trustees — unified in one view.

Operating accounts at the bank. Dedicated sales-tax or toll revenue at another. Construction funds invested at a custodian. Most corporate treasury tools don’t connect to municipal bond trustees or LGIPs at all. Monetary unifies them into one real-time view of your full position.

FAQs

What other transportation finance leaders ask before they buy.

Your ERP and grant management system are your agency’s accounting and administrative command center. Monetary sits next to them as your debt, cash, and investment command center — the work those systems were never designed for: covenant tracking, bond proceeds and grant-fund spend-down, continuing disclosure, and real-time liquidity across funds and programs. We integrate with the major ERPs and feed them the journal entries they need.
