- Cite obligations, not outlays, from USAspending.gov.
- Statewide NJ is not a Port Authority or turnpike corridor map.
DOT’s New Jersey-coded award book
Keep two filters in view. Awarding agency is Department of Transportation, agency 069. Geography is New Jersey. The surviving file is $13,513,738,745.30 and 3,319 awards. FHWA, FTA, FAA, and other Transportation awarding offices can share agency 069. This packet does not split modes. Other awarding agencies inside New Jersey sit on other pages even when the same metro hosts their work.
Dollars per record come to about $4.07 million. That mean mixes large assistance or contract vehicles with smaller actions. It is not a typical highway project invoice and not a typical transit grant. Unique recipients are unpublished. New Jersey’s Transportation file sits in a through-state with ports, turnpikes, and rail. None of those modes is a packet split. Agency 069 × NJ remains one statewide obligation join.
What the DOT–New Jersey pair is not
This join is not a lane-mile inventory, a congestion score, or a transit-ridership census. $13,513,738,745.30 measures award obligations with a 069 awarding-agency code and a NJ place-of-performance tag. New Jersey sits between New York and Philadelphia. Port Authority is not a USAspending state code. This packet is statewide NJ, not a corridor map. Neighbor-state awards stay in other cells.
Department of Transportation in New Jersey is the overlay. New Jersey federal spending still includes every other awarding agency in the state extract. Department of Transportation is the parent agency hub without a New Jersey filter. All spending ties holds the rest of the join list. Correlation is not causation: sharing a state with DOT does not mean the state caused the cell.
