Budget Management
The Office of Budget Management (OBM) promotes the high quality delivery of services to Boston’s residents in a cost effective way. OBM evaluates City programs and then uses analysis to build, present, and manage the Mayor's operating budget. OBM also creates the capital plan. The capital plan is a strategic document that shows how the City's investment in its infrastructure, such as bridges and roads, contributes to Boston's future. The City also uses the plan to make smart spending decisions and protect its assets.
