Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects — CFDA 20.934

Seventy-six awards hold $3.19 billion

USAspending.gov records $3,190,134,805.08 in obligations under CFDA 20.934. Seventy-six awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $42.0 million per award — far larger than a typical research grant and consistent with nationally significant freight and highway projects. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical mile-of-highway cost.

The assistance-listing title is NATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT FREIGHT AND HIGHWAY PROJECTS. CFDA 20.934 is the identifier. Other highway and transit listings tagged under other CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $3.19 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined infrastructure total this packet does not contain.

35 recipients in 29 states

Thirty-five recipients share 76 awards, or about 2.2 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $3.19 billion evenly would assign about $91.1 million per recipient. That pattern matches a competitive megaproject file in which a smaller set of states and agencies hold large awards. The packet does not list the 35. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of corridors or miles.

Twenty-nine states in the geographic count show concentrated coding. Freight-and-highway dollars sit where named projects are coded, not in every jurisdiction. The state count does not flatten those differences. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a mile count

Among highway listings, 20.934 is a sparse, high-dollar file: 76 rows against 35 recipients. Multi-year construction grants can sit as a few large records even while work spans many segments. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of highway projects completed.” Recipients (35) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (76) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report lane-miles, freight tonnage, or construction status. Citing 76 as miles or corridors would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus highway outlays

The $3.19 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against nationally significant freight and highway awards — are not in the packet. A recipient can show a large obligation stock while construction follows a multi-year calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 20.934 to size this freight-and-highway listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a construction-status dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 20.934.

What the 20.934 tables omit

The Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a construction log, not a freight-tonnage ledger, and not a ranking of corridors. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $3,190,134,805.08. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 76 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 29 states is a coding field. A project coded to one cell can dominate geography while work sits in several counties. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares.

Where the 20.934 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 20.934 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other highway listings. For 20.934 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 20.934’s 76 awards spread $3,190,134,805.08 across 35 recipients and 29 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 2.2 award records per recipient and about $42.0 million per award are the structure story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

CFDA 20.934 is indexed at $3,190,134,805.08 in obligations, 76 awards, 35 recipients, and 29 states on USAspending.gov. Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects should be cited on that CFDA row alone. The $3.19 billion figure sizes the listing in the assistance file. It does not convert obligations into outlays, and it does not convert award count into a service, patient, student, or project census.

Readers who need the overlay tables should start on the program page for CFDA 20.934, then rank the listing on the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other listings; they do not replace the $3,190,134,805.08 obligation stock. Keep the four facts together when quoting Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects: dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov, award count as a stored-row count, recipient count as the organizational headcount (including 0 when the extract stores none), and the state figure as a geographic coding count.
