Cincinnati's FY 2026 Approved Budget addresses a projected $10.2 million General Fund operating deficit through Performance Based Budgeting and traditional cost-reduction strategies, including 2% across-the-board reductions. Operating budget highlights include two 50-member Police recruit classes (graduating January 2026 and beginning April 2026), one 50-member Fire recruit class (beginning October 2025), $750,000 for preventative pavement maintenance, and $430,000 to expand the Building Inspector Training Academy. The capital budget includes $56.0 million in first-year full proceeds from the Cincinnati Southern Railway Infrastructure Trust following the Cincy on Track initiative, with a minimum 51.9% of spending directed to neighborhoods with median household income below $50,000. This is the first fiscal year the City will utilize Railway Trust disbursements, implement Performance Based Budgeting, and operate without American Rescue Plan resources.
