Report Summary

Background

The Office of Auditor of Accounts presents a financial statement audit of the Delaware Department of Transportation. This audit was conducted for Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2025. The primary objective of a financial statement audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of an entity.

The Department, which is comprised of DelDOT, the Trust Fund, and DTC, operates as an enterprise fund, meaning it is self-supporting government fund that provides a service to the public for a fee. DelDOT is an agency of the state and operates primarily by using revenues generated by motor fuel taxes, motor fuel documents fees, registration fees, tolls, and other transportation-related fees that are imposed and collected by the State.

AOA completed this engagement under the authority of 29 Del. C., §2906(a) – “The Auditor shall conduct audits of all the financial transactions of all state agencies. To the extent possible, the Auditor shall conduct the audits at least once every 2 years.”

On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was signed into law. As a result, the Department expects federal funding to increase from a total of approximately $1.1 billion over the subsequent five-year period to approximately $1.6 billion over the same period, for an annual increase of approximately $100 million.
