USAspending.gov records $22,079,201,515.51 in Department of Transportation obligations under awarding agency 069 with place of performance in Texas, across 5,883 awards. The join names DOT and Texas: highway, transit, aviation, and other transportation awarding offices can sit under that parent, but this packet does not split them. It does not say Austin funded these awards or that every mile of interstate is in the total. Obligations are not outlays. Average obligation is about $3.75 million ($22,079,201,515.51 ÷ 5,883).

Transportation awards tagged to Texas
This page isolates awarding agency 069 and Texas (TX) place of performance. The $22,079,201,515.51 total is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. Texas’s all-agency hub includes Defense, HHS, and many other departments; those are other columns. The national DOT hub includes every state. This cell is only 069 plus TX.
Five thousand eight hundred eighty-three awards against $22.08 billion is a moderate row count — thicker than Energy-style books with under 200 rows, thinner than Defense books with tens of thousands. The shape is consistent with a mix of formula grants and project awards, but the facts do not name FHWA, FTA, or FAA. Inferring a single mode from the department label would overfit the aggregate.
Texas DOT’s 5,883 records and $22,079,201,515.51 will be quoted as a highway number. Highway is one mode. Transit, aviation, rail, and maritime offices can sit under 069. The packet does not isolate IH-10, a metro rail grant, or an airport AIP award. If the question is a mode, this join is the wrong grain. If the question is agency 069 in TX, it is the right grain.
Awarding agency 069
Code 069 is the Department of Transportation in this extract. Operating administrations can roll up under that parent. This packet supplies one dollar total and one award count. The overlay /states/tx/agencies/069/ is the table view of the same pair.
Readers who want DOT awards without a Texas constraint should open the agency 069 hub. Stretching $22,079,201,515.51 into a national DOT total would drop the state filter that defines the page.
