Follow the Bond Dollar
A public portal where residents pick a category or a town and see what is being built, how much was approved, and the official document behind each project.
Public finance · Civic engagement
Show residents what their state's bonds are building.
BondsAtWork reads the documents a state already publishes, from bond acts and approval agendas to Official Statements, and joins them into one record. Every figure links to the page it came from, and every bond series is reconciled to the cent.
- $8.1B in bond series read from 2023-2026
- 265 approved projects mapped to category and place
- $0.00 difference on every loaded series
One record, two views
Debt Overview & Lineage
A working view for the debt office: outstanding debt by credit, statutory authorization burn-down, and each series traced from its Official Statement to its maturities.
A reconciled record
Authorized, approved and issued amounts are re-added on every run. A document the parsers cannot fully read is held for review. It is never estimated.
The journey of a bond dollar
- 1
Authorized
The legislature passes a bond act that sets a purpose and a limit.
- 2
Approved
The approving body releases part of that limit for a specific project.
- 3
Financed
The treasurer sells bonds to investors to raise the money.
- 4
Built
The agency builds the project, and the bonds are repaid over time.
BondsAtWork records each step with its source document and page, so a resident and an analyst read the same numbers.
For treasurers and debt managers
Visible in the first 100 days
We start from documents your office has already published, so a working portal can be shown early, without new reporting from your staff.
Works alongside what you use
BondsAtWork sits next to investor-relations sites and budget tools. It does not replace them, and it links back to your official disclosures.
Built on public documents
Our collectors read only public sources such as your disclosure portal and EMMA. They identify themselves, follow each site's rules and keep a polite pace.
Coverage
The live demonstration is built from Connecticut's public bond documents. These states are next in the pipeline:
