DCTA recognized for budget prep practices

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) honored the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) with its Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the 14th consecutive year.

GFOA established the awards program to encourage state and local governments to prepare high quality budget documents that reflect both the guidelines established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and the GFOA's best practices on budgeting.

To earn recognition, budget documents must meet program criteria and excel as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide and communication tool, the North Texas transit agency officials said in a press release.
