National Railroad Passenger Corporation Grants in District of Columbia

CFDA 20.315 — federal program obligations to District of Columbia

Total obligated

$38.72B

Awards

19

National Railroad Passenger Corporation Grants (CFDA 20.315) show $38,722,161,153.58 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to the District of Columbia, on 19 awards. This page joins that DOT catalog program to DC place-of-performance. It is not a ridership census, not a route-by-route capital plan, and not an outlay conversion. Headquarters tagging in the District can pull a national rail operator’s awards into a DC cell. USAspending.gov is the source.

Key figures

  • CFDA 20.315 × District of Columbia records $38,722,161,153.58 in USAspending obligations.
  • 19 awards underlie that sum; the mean is about $2.04 billion per record, not a typical station project.
  • A DC geography tag is not proof that work occurred only in the District.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

Nineteen Amtrak-grant awards tagged to the District

CFDA 20.315 is National Railroad Passenger Corporation Grants. The geography key is the District of Columbia (DC). Their overlap is $38,722,161,153.58 and 19 records. A 20.315 award tagged to Maryland or Virginia is excluded. A DC award under a different CFDA is a different join. This page does not add those siblings to the Amtrak-grant cell.

Nineteen awards against $38,722,161,153.58 yields a mean of about $2,037,998,000 per record. That mean is not a typical ticket subsidy and not a typical station project. Large capital or operating-grant vehicles can dominate dollars on a short row list. This packet does not name those vehicles or their periods of performance.

The District did not “win” $38,722,161,153.58 merely by hosting a headquarters tag. Matching catalog number to DC is not causation. National Railroad Passenger Corporation Grants in District of Columbia is the live overlay.

What CFDA 20.315 is—and what a timetable is not

The official title is NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER CORPORATION GRANTS. SpendingVault does not grade Amtrak’s on-time performance or the Northeast Corridor. $38,722,161,153.58 is an obligation sum, not a ridership chart. CFDA 20.315 is the national hub without the DC filter. This packet has no national Amtrak-grant total, so none is compared to the District cell.

FRA grant reports and Amtrak’s own financial statements are other products. They are not the 19 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing a passenger count from those files with this join would invent a per-rider dollar figure the packet does not support.
