Highway Planning And Construction (CFDA 20.205) shows $16,090,821,306.63 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to California, on 3,637 awards.

USAspending.gov is the source table.

Key figures

  • CFDA 20.205 × California records $16,090,821,306.63 in USAspending obligations.
  • 3,637 awards sit under that sum; the mean is about $4,424,202 per record, not a typical unit.
  • Matching Highway Planning to California is not causation and not a project or lane-mile census.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

Highway planning meeting California in the award file

CFDA 20.205 is Highway Planning And Construction. California (CA) is the place-of-performance state. Their intersection is $16,090,821,306.63 and 3,637 records. A 20.205 award tagged to Nevada, Arizona, or Oregon is not here. A California award under transit capital, rail, or airport grants is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the $16,090,821,306.63.

3,637 awards against $16,090,821,306.63 yields a mean of about $4,424,202 per record. That mean is arithmetic on packet facts, not a typical paving contract and not a typical mile of road. Formula highway awards and modifications can dominate dollars while the row count stays at 3,637. This packet does not name the recipients of the 3,637 rows.

Sacramento did not win the total by appearing as CA. Seismic-retrofit folklore is not a packet field. Matching 20.205 to CA is not causation. The overlay Highway Planning And Construction in California is the live table.

What CFDA 20.205 is without a lane-mile census

The official catalog title is HIGHWAY PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION. SpendingVault does not grade California’s Highway Planning and Construction system, its backlog, or its policy model. $16,090,821,306.63 is an obligation sum, not a policy verdict. CFDA 20.205 is the national hub without the California filter. This packet has no national Highway Planning and Construction total, so none is quoted.

FHWA Highway Statistics, STIP documents, and state DOT dashboards are other series. They are not the 3,637 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing a census from those files with this join would invent a per-person dollar figure the packet does not support. Interstate, seismic-retrofit, and hov-lane folklore is ordinary speech, not a packet field.

Questions

How much Highway Planning and Construction is obligated in California?
USAspending.gov records $16,090,821,306.63 in CFDA 20.205 obligations across 3,637 awards coded to California. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not California’s full federal total. Keep both the program name and California in any citation. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
Is 3,637 a count of California highway projects?
Award count is a row count. $16,090,821,306.63 ÷ 3,637 is about $4,424,202 per record as a mean, not a typical paving contract and not a typical mile of road. Formula highway awards and modifications can dominate dollars. This packet does not list recipients. See Highway Planning And Construction in California for the stored table.
Is this California’s entire federal transportation book?
No. The $16,090,821,306.63 and 3,637 awards are USAspending.gov obligation records for CFDA 20.205 with a California geography tag. Transit capital, rail, and airport listings use different CFDAs. Those dollars sit outside this join. Mixing those files with this join would invent a figure the packet does not support.
Where is the live overlay?
Highway Planning And Construction in California is the overlay. See California federal spending, California programs, CFDA 20.205, and All spending ties. Later bulk files override this snapshot. Keep the obligation label on $16,090,821,306.63. Do not invent a fiscal year; this packet publishes none.
