Department of Transportation in Wyoming

DOT awards tagged to Wyoming

Department of Transportation as awarding agency, Wyoming as place-of-performance: 1,478 records summing to $2,345,596,239.97. A Department of Transportation award coded outside WY is out. An award in Wyoming from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Wyoming (WY) excludes Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska. A Denver-coded award is CO, not this cell. FHWA, FTA, FAA, and other DOT modes are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 069.

One thousand four hundred seventy-eight awards sits in a mid-count DOT band. Modifications can add rows without each row being a new construction project. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,478 as 1,478 unique lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. The overlay Department of Transportation in Wyoming is the both-keys table. Wyoming federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Transportation is the agency book without a WY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

I-80 and I-25 are ordinary speech, not published shares of $2,345,596,239.97. Unique recipients are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Wyoming did not “cause” $2,345,596,239.97 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 069 × WY only.

Not I-80 folklore or a bridge census

$2,345,596,239.97 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 a WY place-of-performance tag. FHWA, FTA, FAA, and other DOT modes are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 069.

Do not treat 1,478 awards as a census of lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Wyoming federal spending or Department of Transportation matched $2,345,596,239.97 and 1,478, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Colorado, Montana, and South Dakota DOT joins are other pairs, not addends.
