Department of Transportation federal obligations in FY2026

USAspending.gov records $89,341,842,230.64 in Department of Transportation obligations for fiscal year 2026. On toptier 069, that yearlyTrend amount is 21.5% of the department's $415,288,372,621.56 extract-wide total. The join is Transportation plus FY2026, not a construction-season census and not cash already paid. Agency 069 publishes 151,734 award records in this extract; that count is not a FY2026-only contract list.

Transportation's in-progress FY2026 cell

Federal fiscal year 2026 runs through September 2026. The source note warns that FY figures can be incomplete for the current year. $89,341,842,230.64 is the published yearlyTrend obligation total for agency 069 in FY2026, not the $415,288,372,621.56 all-year Transportation book, not every federal transportation dollar that year, and not an outlay.

A smaller FY2026 cell beside a large FY2024 Transportation row is the expected pattern for a year still filling in, not proof that programs stopped. This packet does not name primes, modes, or projects. Correlation with letting schedules is not causation.

FY2026 versus Transportation's longer book

21.5% of $415,288,372,621.56 is tagged to FY2026 so far in this extract. The Department of Transportation hub (/agencies/069/) omits the year filter. FY2026 federal spending (/fiscal-years/2026/) omits the 069 filter. Do not add those parents into $89,341,842,230.64.

Do not annualize $89,341,842,230.64 into a full-year Transportation budget; the packet publishes no run-rate. Later ingests can raise or restate the cell. Cite obligations, not outlays.

Award records on 069 are not FY2026 lettings

151,734 is the Department of Transportation extract-wide award-record count. It is not FY2026 instruments and not a count of miles or riders. This page does not divide $89,341,842,230.64 by 151,734. Unique recipients are unpublished.

What Transportation FY2026 omits
