Department of Transportation in North Dakota

DOT awards tagged to North Dakota

Department of Transportation as awarding agency, North Dakota as place-of-performance: 1,469 records summing to $1,900,135,360.77. A Department of Transportation award coded outside ND is out. An award in North Dakota from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. North Dakota (ND) excludes South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, and Canada-bound tags that never carry ND. A Fargo-Moorhead Minnesota code is MN.

One thousand four hundred sixty-nine awards is a moderate DOT book: not a handful of mega-projects, not a farm-program flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,469 as 1,469 unique lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. The overlay Department of Transportation in North Dakota is the both-keys table. North Dakota federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Transportation is the agency book without an ND filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Bismarck, Fargo, and the oil patch share one ND stamp. FHWA, FAA, and FTA offices can roll up under 069; this page does not split them. Correlation is not causation: North Dakota did not cause $1,900,135,360.77 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 069 × ND only.

Not Bakken freight or an Interstate census

$1,900,135,360.77 does not measure lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 069 and an ND place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,469 awards as a census of lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If North Dakota federal spending or Department of Transportation matched $1,900,135,360.77 and 1,469, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. South Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana DOT joins are other pairs, not addends.
