We have commitments for the purchase of aircraft, vehicles, equipment and real estate to provide for the replacement of existing capacity and anticipated future growth. Future capital spending for anticipated growth and replacement assets will depend on a variety of factors, including economic and industry conditions. Our 2024 investment program anticipates investments in technology initiatives and enhanced network capabilities, including approximately $1.0 billion of projects that support our environmental sustainability goals. It also provides for the maintenance of buildings, facilities and equipment and replacement of certain aircraft within our fleet. We currently expect that our capital expenditures will total approximately $4.5 billion in 2024, of which approximately 50 percent will be allocated to network enhancement projects and other technology initiatives.

For the quarter, total capital expenditures increased, primarily due to:

Vehicle expenditure increases, driven by the timing of payments and availability of vehicle replacements.

Information technology expenditure increases due to additional deployments of technology equipment and capitalized software projects.

Aircraft expenditure increases due to final payments associated with the delivery of aircraft.

These were partially offset by decreased spending on buildings, facilities and plant equipment, driven by the timing of network enhancement projects.

We received cash proceeds of $2.6 billion from the sale of marketable securities due to the liquidation of our portfolio to provide additional resources for short-term and strategic operating needs.

Cash paid for acquisitions in both 2024 and 2023 related to the purchase of development areas for The UPS Store. Other investing activities were impacted by changes in our non-current investments, purchase contract deposits and various other immaterial items.
