Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders launched the Arkansas Forward Dashboard, a tool to track the state’s cost-cutting and efficiency initiative. The dashboard gives the public a way to monitor progress toward the initiative’s goal of identifying at least $300 million in taxpayer savings and cost avoidance by the end of 2030.
Initiative Progress
Since the initiative launched in 2024, it has identified an estimated $188 million in savings and cost avoidance. The efforts focus on five areas: information technology, procurement, fleet management, personnel, and real estate.
The dashboard includes a downloadable public dataset intended to show where state government is identifying efficiencies and savings. Governor Sanders stated, “Arkansans deserve a government that’s accountable for every tax dollar it spends. The Arkansas Forward Dashboard gives taxpayers a front-row seat to the progress we’re making to cut waste, improve services, and deliver better results.”
