Awards

Highway Planning and Construction (CFDA 20.205) obligations tagged to Florida total $14,344,027,520.64 on USAspending.gov across 6,916 awards. That award count is the opposite of SNAP’s three-row Florida cell: thousands of Federal-aid highway actions instead of a handful of assistance vehicles. The join is FHWA’s core Catalog number plus an FL place-of-performance tag, not a list of named interstates and not a congestion ranking. Six thousand nine hundred sixteen highway actions are the Federal-aid grain: many project rows, not a handful of block grants.

A thick Federal-aid file on a Florida tag

Keep USAspending rows labeled HIGHWAY PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION whose geography is Florida (FL). Six thousand nine hundred sixteen awards remain. They sum to $14,344,027,520.64. CFDA 20.205 is the long-running Federal-aid highway program that funds planning and construction through state departments of transportation. The extract counts award actions, including modifications, not unique road segments.

The implied mean is about $2,074,000 per award. That is closer to a project-sized unit than a SNAP-style multi-billion vehicle, but it is still an average across a mixed file. Small obligations and large letting packages share the same 6,916-row count. Unique contractors and unique miles of pavement are unpublished.

Florida federal spending is every CFDA on FL. CFDA 20.205 is the national highway program file. Highway Planning And Construction in Florida is the overlap. Florida programs and All spending ties are the sibling indexes.

Florida’s highway cell is the thickest 20.205 file in this slice. Thickness is modifications and project actions, not a published finding that Florida built the most road. Unique miles remain unpublished.

Sitting next to Florida SNAP (3 awards) and Florida PA (36 awards), 6,916 is the reminder that Catalog design drives row counts.

What 20.205 is not on this page

Transit formula grants, airport improvement, and passenger-rail Catalog numbers are other programs. They are not inside $14,344,027,520.64. A complete Florida transportation story would need those joins separately.

Place-of-performance can follow the state DOT, a district office, or a project location. Work in Georgia on a Florida-let contract can still carry an FL tag, and Florida work funded under another state’s award would not. The 6,916-row file is not a GIS layer of orange barrels.

Toll-road revenue, state fuel-tax collections, and local option taxes are not USAspending 20.205. Mixing them with $14,344,027,520.64 changes datasets.

Express lanes and toll conversions can involve state and local money that never appears in 20.205. $14,344,027,520.64 is the Federal-aid highway join only.
