Department of Transportation in Virginia

Transportation dollars meeting Virginia geography

Agency 069, Department of Transportation, plus Virginia place of performance, sums to $14,825,172,576.06 on 5,339 awards. Other states’ DOT cells have different dollar totals and similar or different award counts. Those are neighboring joins, not a ranking of whose roads are better. USAspending does not score pavement.

Five thousand three hundred thirty-nine awards is close to several other DOT state cells. The Virginia mean of about $2.78 million is therefore in a similar band to those peers. Similarity of means is still not evidence that the same mix of transit, highway, and aviation awards sits in each state.

Northern Virginia’s role as a federal contractor corridor does not move extra dollars into this cell automatically. Only awards whose place-of-performance state is VA contribute to $14,825,172,576.06. A contractor with a Virginia office can still be absent if the award lists another state. The 5,339-award count follows the same geography rule, not a roster of Virginia DOT field offices.

Agency 069 on the awarding side

The Department of Transportation hub is nationwide. Virginia’s $14,825,172,576.06 is the VA filter on that hub. Awards that serve the National Capital Region but list DC or Maryland as place of performance are not in this cell. Corridor logic and USAspending geography are different systems.

Overlay /states/va/agencies/069/ is the matching table. The 5,339 count should be read against that overlay rather than against a separately compiled list of VDOT-related federal grants.

What is the average DOT award in Virginia?

About $2.78 million, from $14,825,172,576.06 divided by 5,339 awards. That mean is not a median and not a mode-level typical grant.

It is agency 069 in Virginia only. Other awarding agencies appear on other Virginia ties. Statewide Virginia spending is the parent hub for all agencies.
