Department of Transportation federal obligations in FY2024

What the Transportation–FY2024 join is

Agency 069 and fiscal year 2024 meet in one yearlyTrend cell. $325,946,530,390.92 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum tagged to that pair. It is not the Department of Transportation's all-year book of $415,288,372,621.56, not every federal transportation dollar in FY2024, and not an outlay. The All agencies index still lists other toptiers; FY2024 federal spending still lists other agencies. Only this intersection is reported here.

Surface-transportation speech often names highways, transit, aviation, and rail in one breath. This packet does not split $325,946,530,390.92 among those modes, name contractors, or count projects. A reader who assigns the cell to a single grant program or a single prime vendor adds a label the facts do not carry. Correlation with infrastructure news is not causation.

FY2024 beside the department's longer book

Fiscal year 2024 is one slice of agency 069's published series. 78.5% of $415,288,372,621.56 landed in this cell. The remainder sits on other fiscal-year rows for the same toptier. Adding those rows back into $325,946,530,390.92 would double-count. The Department of Transportation hub at /agencies/069/ is the parent without a FY2024 filter.

FY2024 federal spending at /fiscal-years/2024/ is the parent without an agency-069 filter. Do not treat $325,946,530,390.92 as the government-wide FY2024 obligation total. Later USAspending ingests can restate the cell; the source note says FY figures can be incomplete. Obligations remain commitments, not checks cleared.

Award records on agency 069 are not a FY2024 census

151,734 is the Department of Transportation award-record count published with the agency extract, not a count of FY2024 instruments. Dividing $325,946,530,390.92 by 151,734 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding vendors.

What the Transportation FY2024 table omits

The packet has no outlay total, no state place-of-performance split, no NAICS mix, and no named primes. It does not rank modes, districts, or contractors. FEC donation tables are a different dataset and do not fund these USAspending obligations. Quote $325,946,530,390.92 as agency 069 obligations in FY2024, not as money already spent on a listed project.

Where to read the Transportation–FY2024 pair

Open Department of Transportation (/agencies/069/) for the toptier hub, FY2024 federal spending (/fiscal-years/2024/) for the year hub, All agencies (/agencies/) for every agency, and All spending ties (/ties/) for other joins. Those parents are larger than this cell. Keep both keys in the citation: Department of Transportation and FY2024.

Reuse $325,946,530,390.92 only with agency 069 and fiscal year 2024 in the same sentence. The 151,734 award-record count stays on the agency extract, not on this yearlyTrend row. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. Keep Department of Transportation and FY2024 together when citing $325,946,530,390.92. Agency 069's extract-wide award-record count is 151,734, not a FY2024 census. Obligations of $325,946,530,390.92 are not outlays. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov for this 069 × FY2024 pair. Do not add parent hubs into this yearlyTrend cell. Campaign-finance tables do not fund these USAspending obligations. The 78.5% share is $325,946,530,390.92 divided by the extract-wide $415,288,372,621.56, not a budget score. Unique recipients remain unpublished on this Department of Transportation FY2024 join. Place-of-performance and NAICS splits are omitted from this packet. Quote toptier 069, fiscal year 2024, and $325,946,530,390.92 in one sentence. The All agencies index and All spending ties index are larger than this cell. A later USAspending ingest can restate $325,946,530,390.92 without changing the join keys. Keep Department of Transportation and FY2024 together when citing $325,946,530,390.92.

No. Agency 069's extract-wide total is $415,288,372,621.56. FY2024 is 78.5% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same toptier are separate cells. Do not add the parent hub into this join. 151,734 is the agency extract award-record count, not a FY2024 headcount.
