State and Community Highway Safety — CFDA 20.600

Highway-safety obligations at $462.8M

USAspending.gov records $462,758,861.66 in obligations under CFDA 20.600. Those 272 awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $1.70 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical award and not a unit cost for crashes prevented, citations issued, or miles of roadway made safer. Other National Highway Traffic Safety Administration listings under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $462,758,861.66.

The assistance-listing title is STATE AND COMMUNITY HIGHWAY SAFETY. CFDA 20.600 is the identifier. Read the $462.8M headline — $462,758,861.66 in the award file — as the obligation book tagged 20.600 only. USAspending.gov assistance awards are the source. This page does not convert obligations into outlays or into a count of crashes prevented, citations issued, or miles of roadway made safer.

272 awards on 69 safety offices

69 recipients share 272 awards. That is about 3.9 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $462,758,861.66 evenly would assign about $6.71 million per recipient. That density is a packet quotient, not a typical grant size and not a cost per unit of crashes prevented, citations issued, or miles of roadway made safer. The packet does not list the 69 named organizations. Read $462,758,861.66 only against CFDA 20.600.

Fifty-six jurisdictions cover states plus extra coded entities. Section 402-style dollars follow administering safety offices, not equal shares of vehicle miles traveled. Place-of-performance amounts, if shown, live on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of crashes prevented, citations issued, or miles of roadway made safer. A simple average is about $1.70 million per award. Combining 20.600 with other National Highway Traffic Safety Administration listings under different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total this packet does not contain.

Award rows are not a crash census

Among assistance listings, 20.600 is a state highway-safety-office file: 272 awards against 69 named recipients spanning 56 jurisdictions. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects” and a worse proxy for crashes prevented, citations issued, or miles of roadway made safer. The recipient field (69 recipients) tells you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (272) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report crashes prevented, citations issued, or miles of roadway made safer. Citing 272 as that unit would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $462,758,861.66 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov. Sixty-nine recipients across 56 jurisdictions is a state safety-office pattern.

Obligations versus highway-safety outlays

The $462,758,861.66 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against State and Community Highway Safety 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 20.600 to size this listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a dashboard of crashes prevented, citations issued, or miles of roadway made safer. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 20.600. The $462.8M figure is the compact form of $462,758,861.66.

What the 20.600 tables omit

Geographic coding covers 56 jurisdictions. Fifty-six jurisdictions cover states plus extra coded entities. Section 402-style dollars follow administering safety offices, not equal shares of vehicle miles traveled. It is not a fatality dashboard, not a highway-construction total, and not a count of every local safety campaign. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $462,758,861.66.

Place-of-performance on 56 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of State and Community Highway Safety funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid.
