Department of Transportation obligations in Alaska At-Large District (AK-00)

DOT × AK-00 is at-large geography, not every Alaska federal dollar

Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) is the state's single House district, so the district geography tag and the state geography tag cover the same congressional map. That still does not make this DOT cell Alaska's entire federal spending book. Agency 069 is a slice of a much larger AK-00 total. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $3,657,451,959.54 on 1,618 awards for awarding agency 069 with Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) as place of performance. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 1,618 awards equal 1,618 transportation projects. A Department of Transportation amount tagged to a different district is out of this cell.

DHS, Defense, or Interior awards that mention transportation in a description sit outside $3,657,451,959.54 unless those awards also carry agency 069 and AK-00 geography. Mixing those lines would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and VMT, enplanements, or bridge ratings is not causation. Those series are not in the packet. Place of performance as AK-00 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $3,657,451,959.54 in a district treasury. Village, borough, or airport names are not in the packet. This page will not invent them as recipients.

1,618 Transportation awards in Alaska At-Large District

One thousand six hundred eighteen DOT awards is a thick transportation file — far thicker than FL-08 DOT. Thickness can reflect many project-style rows across a large state, not 1,618 finished roads. Mean obligation is about $2,260,477.11 if $3,657,451,959.54 were divided evenly across 1,618 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. The extract does not split highways from transit, aviation, or maritime inside agency 069. Unique recipients are unpublished.

This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Alaska At-Large District for the stored district table and Department of Transportation for the national agency shelf. Do not convert 1,618 into a map of miles of pavement, airports, or transit riders inside Alaska At-Large District. The $3,657,451,959.54 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring an inventory.

AK-00 DOT obligations are not finished pavement

DOT obligations are commitments, not pavement already laid. DOT awards often obligate as grants or contracts are recorded and draw as invoices arrive. The $3,657,451,959.54 headline is the obligation sum on this district-agency join, not finished roads, runways, or transit vehicles. Citing the figure as cash already sent confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. No fiscal year is attached to this packet; do not annualize $3,657,451,959.54 into a yearly run rate.

Keep the obligation word on $3,657,451,959.54. Keep both Department of Transportation and Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) in the citation. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell. Different datasets can share a state abbreviation without sharing a money trail.

What the Alaska At-Large DOT extract omits

The extract has no roster of miles of pavement, airports, or transit riders. Facts remain $3,657,451,959.54, 1,618 awards, agency 069 (Department of Transportation), Alaska At-Large District (AK-00), and a district-wide book of $53,125,232,484.14. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score.

Alaska At-Large District places AK-00 among other congressional districts. Department of Transportation places agency 069 among other awarding agencies. Alaska federal spending is the statewide shelf. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Alaska spending or of Department of Transportation's national book the packet never computed. The $3,657,451,959.54 figure is the tagged pair only. Village, borough, or airport names are not in the packet. This page will not invent them as recipients.

Citing Department of Transportation in AK-00

A clean footnote names Department of Transportation (agency 069), Alaska At-Large District (AK-00), $3,657,451,959.54 in obligations, and 1,618 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 1,618 as a census of miles of pavement, airports, or transit riders. Quote the district overlay if you need every awarding agency in AK-00, and quote the agency page if you need Department of Transportation without a district filter. About 6.9% of the $53,125,232,484.14 district book sits on this agency in the extract; that percentage is a derived ratio, not a separate published table.

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 069. The other is congressional district place of performance as AK-00. The headline $3,657,451,959.54 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that Department of Transportation caused Alaska At-Large District's economy to grow, or that the district caused the awards to exist. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge.

Questions

How much did DOT obligate in Alaska At-Large District?

USAspending.gov shows $3,657,451,959.54 in obligations for Department of Transportation (agency 069) with Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) as place of performance, across 1,618 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district's entire transportation budget. Other agencies in the district sit outside this join.

Do 1,618 awards mean 1,618 Alaska transportation projects?

No. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of miles of pavement, airports, or transit riders. The packet does not name recipients. Mean obligation of about $2,260,477.11 is a quotient, not a typical published award. See Alaska At-Large District for stored lines.

Because AK-00 is at-large, is this all federal spending in Alaska?

No. The join is awarding agency 069 crossed with AK-00 place of performance. The district-wide book on this extract is $53,125,232,484.14. Related agencies and other districts are not inside $3,657,451,959.54 unless they also carry both keys. Village, borough, or airport names are not in the packet. This page will not invent them as recipients.

Is the AK-00 DOT total already spent on roads and airports?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $3,657,451,959.54 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet. Remaining balances are not in the facts.
