Buses And Bus Facilities awarded by Transportation

Buses And Bus Facilities overlapping DOT — CFDA 20.526

The pair is Buses And Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, And Low Or No Emissions Programs × Department of Transportation. $4,257,550,143.72 is the obligation aggregate for rows that carry both CFDA 20.526 and awarding-agency 069. The join obligation $4,257,550,143.72 equals the CFDA program total of $4,257,550,143.72 in this extract, so this packet does not publish a leftover Buses And Bus Facilities slice at a second awarding agency. Correlation is not causation: the join does not prove that Department of Transportation caused Buses And Bus Facilities activity, only that USAspending coded the two keys together. It is not a transit-agency league table or a named manufacturer roster.

SpendingVault indexes the cell from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is BUSES AND BUS FACILITIES FORMULA, COMPETITIVE, AND LOW OR NO EMISSIONS PROGRAMS. The agency name on the awarding side is Department of Transportation. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or a fiscal-year stamp — this packet publishes no fiscal year. Cite $4,257,550,143.72 as obligations on the Buses And Bus Facilities–DOT pair.

CFDA 20.526 as the buses and bus facilities side

CFDA 20.526 is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier for Buses And Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, And Low Or No Emissions Programs. The program-wide obligation total in this extract is $4,257,550,143.72. That figure is a program rollup, not a second headline for the Department of Transportation slice unless the two amounts match. Do not treat $4,257,550,143.72 as cash Treasury already sent. Transit agencies, vehicle counts, and manufacturers are unpublished on this packet.

Open CFDA 20.526 at /programs/20.526/ for the program hub. That page is not this join: it can include other awarding agencies if the extract lists them, and it is still obligations rather than outlays. This ties page stays on CFDA 20.526 awarded by agency 069 only.

Agency 069, Department of Transportation

Department of Transportation is awarding-agency 069 on USAspending assistance rows. The agency hub Department of Transportation at /agencies/069/ rolls up every program that agency awards in the index, not only Buses And Bus Facilities. Reading $4,257,550,143.72 as Department of Transportation’s entire book would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one agency, not a department budget justification.

938 awards as a CFDA table, not a fleet census

The extract lists 938 awards on the Buses And Bus Facilities × Department of Transportation table. That is an award-record count, not a census of buses. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Dividing $4,257,550,143.72 by 938 is not published here as a typical award size, because the packet does not say the rows are comparable.

Fleet rankings this buses–DOT join cannot support

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $4,257,550,143.72 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared on Buses And Bus Facilities over-reads the field. The join cannot say that Department of Transportation specialized in Buses And Bus Facilities because of a policy success metric this packet omits. Keep $4,257,550,143.72 labeled as Buses And Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, And Low Or No Emissions Programs obligations awarded by Department of Transportation.

Budget justifications, program evaluations, and press releases answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes a different CFDA with Department of Transportation or a different awarding agency with Buses And Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, And Low Or No Emissions Programs, the chart has left this join. Transit agencies, vehicle counts, and manufacturers are unpublished on this packet.
