A transportation agency joined to one state

Department of Transportation (agency 069) awards that USAspending tags to New York sum to $17,980,330,000.75. That cell sits between two larger tables: all Transportation awards nationwide, and all federal awarding agencies in New York. This page does not add those parents together; it isolates the overlap. The 4,796 award count belongs only to that overlap.

Transportation obligations often cover infrastructure, transit, aviation, and related assistance, but the packet facts do not break this $17.98 billion into modes. Naming a particular bridge, airport, or grant program here would invent detail the aggregate does not supply. The honest read is agency plus state, dollars plus rows.

Agency 069 without a New York filter

The Department of Transportation profile lists agency 069 awards regardless of place of performance. New York’s $17,980,330,000.75 is a subset of that agency’s activity, not a substitute for it. Awards coded to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or any other state are outside this tie even if the project serves a multi-state corridor.

Because the overlay path is /states/ny/agencies/069/, the live table behind this copy is already filtered. The 4,796 figure should match that overlay’s award count for the same aggregate, not a separately researched inventory of DOT field offices.
