Federal Transit Formula Grants in Hawaii

FTA CFDA 20.507 joined to Hawaii

CFDA 20.507 is titled Federal Transit Formula Grants. Filtered to Hawaii place of performance, obligations sum to $289,595,803 on 8 awards. The national CFDA 20.507 hub includes every state. Hawaii federal spending includes every program. This tie is the overlap — the pair, not a causal story. Federal Transit Formula Grants often concentrate in a short list of urbanized-area or statewide transit awards. The packet does not name agencies or routes.

Eight awards is a short row list for this dollar total. The count is an award-record tally, not a count of households, students, or clinics. Readers sometimes treat a large CFDA–state total as if it were a budget line the state legislature passed. $289,595,803 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation sum on awards tagged 20.507 and HI. Correlation is not causation. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards.

Transit formula grants are not NHPP highways

National Highway Performance Program, rural transit, and other DOT catalogs use different CFDA numbers. Highway dollars do not belong in this transit cell. Packet facts are Hawaii, CFDA 20.507, $289,595,803, and 8 awards. Formula shares, recipient lists, and outcome scores are not in the facts. The catalog title names Federal Transit Formula Grants, not highway NHPP dollars or a farebox recovery score.

The only numeric facts on this packet are $289,595,803, 8 awards, CFDA 20.507, program title Federal Transit Formula Grants, and geography HI/Hawaii. Any other dollar, year, recipient, or percentage would be invented. Trivial arithmetic is allowed: 8 awards into $289,595,803 is about $36.20 million per award. That quotient is a mean of records, not a typical household, student, patient, or transit formula grants unit.
