Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants in Hawaii

Hawaii x 20.500 is a capital-investment join, not a ridership census

This page pairs CFDA 20.500, FEDERAL TRANSIT CAPITAL INVESTMENT GRANTS, with Hawaii place of performance. The listing, in program language, funds major transit capital projects such as new fixed-guideway systems and extensions. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $375,000,000 on 1 award. The extract does not list projects, miles, or ridership. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state builds more rail, and not a claim that one award equals one station.

Other DOT listings — formula transit, highway planning, or ferry programs — sit outside $375,000,000 unless they also carry 20.500. Hawaii’s Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance join on 64.028 is a VA overlay, not an FTA subset. Mixing capital investment with formula transit would invent a combined transportation figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and congestion is not causation. Congestion figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Hawaii locates the tagged award; it does not deposit $375,000,000 in the state treasury.

1 award behind $375 million

With a single award, mean obligation equals the headline: $375,000,000. That figure is the tagged row, not a published cost per mile and not a cost per rider. Award count is a row count. It is not a count of projects, stations, or transit agencies.

One line is scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent the project or agency name. Open Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants in Hawaii for the stored table. Do not convert 1 into a map of Hawaii rail stations. The $375,000,000 total remains an obligation rollup on the tagged award, not construction already completed. Inspect the named line rather than inferring a project list.

Questions

How much Federal Transit Capital Investment Grant funding is obligated in Hawaii?

USAspending.gov shows $375,000,000 in obligations for CFDA 20.500 with Hawaii as place of performance, across 1 award. The sum is a commitment total on an assistance award, not outlays and not Hawaii’s full transportation budget. Other DOT listings are outside this join unless they also carry 20.500.

Does 1 award mean 1 Hawaii transit project?

Not necessarily. Award count is a row count of assistance awards. It is not a project or station census. The packet does not name the recipient or project. See the Hawaii 20.500 overlay for the named line as USAspending stored it.

Does this include Hawaii’s formula transit grants?

No. This page is CFDA 20.500, Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants. Formula urban and rural transit programs use different CFDA numbers. Those dollars are not inside $375,000,000 unless the award also carries 20.500. The extract has no ridership table.

Is $375 million already spent on Hawaii transit construction?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $375,000,000 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Construction draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
