PRIIA Projects for WMATA — CFDA 20.524

PRIIA WMATA obligations at $450.5M

USAspending.gov records $450,498,863 in obligations under CFDA 20.524. Those 4 awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $112.62 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical award and not a unit cost for railcars delivered, stations rebuilt, or passenger trips added. Other Federal Transit Administration or passenger-rail listings under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $450,498,863.

The assistance-listing title is PASSENGER RAIL INVESTMENT AND IMPROVEMENT (PRIIA) PROJECTS FOR WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSIT AUTHORITY (WMATA). CFDA 20.524 is the identifier. Read the $450.5M headline — $450,498,863 in the award file — as the obligation book tagged 20.524 only. USAspending.gov assistance awards are the source. This page does not convert obligations into outlays or into a count of railcars delivered, stations rebuilt, or passenger trips added.

4 awards on 1 recipient

1 recipient shares 4 awards. That is about 4.0 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $450,498,863 evenly would assign about $450.50 million per recipient. That density is a packet quotient, not a typical grant size and not a cost per unit of railcars delivered, stations rebuilt, or passenger trips added. The packet does not list the 1 named organization. Read $450,498,863 only against CFDA 20.524.

One jurisdiction is the expected map for a WMATA-specific listing. Dollars follow that named recipient, not a nationwide transit formula. Place-of-performance amounts, if shown, live on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of railcars delivered, stations rebuilt, or passenger trips added. A simple average is about $112.62 million per award. Combining 20.524 with other Federal Transit Administration or passenger-rail listings under different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total this packet does not contain.

A four-row file still carries $450.5M

Among assistance listings, 20.524 is a single-recipient capital file: 4 awards against 1 named recipient in 1 jurisdiction. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects” and a worse proxy for railcars delivered, stations rebuilt, or passenger trips added. The recipient field (1 recipient) tells you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (4) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report railcars delivered, stations rebuilt, or passenger trips added. Citing 4 as that unit would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $450,498,863 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov. Four awards and one recipient in one jurisdiction is a dedicated capital-assistance fingerprint.

Obligations versus WMATA outlays

The $450,498,863 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against PRIIA Projects for Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) awards — are not in the packet. A file can show a large obligation stock while draws, reimbursements, or closeouts follow a different schedule. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. Treasury outlays are a separate series.

Use CFDA 20.524 to size this listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a dashboard of railcars delivered, stations rebuilt, or passenger trips added. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 20.524. The $450.5M figure is the compact form of $450,498,863.

What the 20.524 tables omit

Geographic coding covers 1 jurisdictions. One jurisdiction is the expected map for a WMATA-specific listing. Dollars follow that named recipient, not a nationwide transit formula. It is not a national passenger-rail plan, not an Amtrak appropriation, and not a Metro ridership dashboard. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $450,498,863.

Place-of-performance on 1 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of PRIIA Projects for Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid.
