The Illinois–Transportation intersection

Department of Transportation (agency 069) awards with Illinois place of performance sum to $14,267,748,023.17 on 4,769 awards. Other states have their own DOT cells with different dollar totals. Those are parallel filters, not a contest. This page only restates the Illinois cell.

Four thousand seven hundred sixty-nine awards sits beside other Illinois agency cells that use different codes and different row counts. Same state, different agencies, different table shapes. Stacking them reconstructs neither a state budget nor a complete federal footprint.

Freight corridors that cross from Illinois into Indiana or Missouri do not automatically appear here. $14,267,748,023.17 is the IL-tagged slice of agency 069. The 4,769-award count excludes rows whose geography field is another state, even when the public describes the project as regional. That is a tagging rule, not a judgment about which state “owns” the corridor.

Agency 069 without an Illinois filter

Nationwide Transportation spending lives on the agency 069 hub. $14,267,748,023.17 is the Illinois geography only. Awards coded to Indiana, Missouri, or Wisconsin — even on a shared freight corridor — stay off this page if place of performance is not IL.

The overlay /states/il/agencies/069/ is the source table for 4,769 awards. This copy does not add project names. Naming a particular transit agency or interstate would invent content.
