The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority for its biennial budget for the biennium beginning July 1, 2015. In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan, and as a communications device.
