Department of Transportation obligations in California

Transportation, not housing or homeland security

This page keeps agency 069 and place-of-performance CA. $33,942,257,265.81 is the DOT obligation sum. 6,875 is the DOT award count. Department of Homeland Security in California is 070. Department of Housing and Urban Development in California is 086. Those pages have their own sums. They are not added here.

About $4.94 million per award is the ratio. FHWA, FTA, FAA, and other modal labels are not in the facts, so they are not assigned shares of $33,942,257,265.81.

A useful check on $33,942,257,265.81 is to ask what 6,875 records implies. A large sum on few rows concentrates. A large sum on many rows dilutes the mean. That check is still not a ranking of states. It is a reading of this file’s shape.

Agency 069 as one code

Department of Transportation is the USAspending label for 069. The agency hub without California will not equal $33,942,257,265.81. Overlay /states/ca/agencies/069/ is the both-keys table for 6,875 awards. California’s state hub includes every awarding agency tagged to CA, so it is larger than this pair.

Quoting $33,942,257,265.81 from the agency hub would be a different filter. Quoting 6,875 from the state hub would mix other awarding agencies. The overlay is the only table that keeps both keys. That is why this tie cites those two facts together.

California geography, not a project map

Place of performance CA excludes Nevada, Oregon, Arizona, and Hawaii. DOT awards coded to those states are outside $33,942,257,265.81. Place of performance is not a list of named projects — project names are not in this aggregate.

The California federal spending hub shows 069 next to 070 and 086. Table neighbors are not a combined infrastructure score.

Households, facilities, and vendors are not columns in the packet. Listing them would be invention. $33,942,257,265.81 remains an obligation sum on a state tag. The overlay can show rows; this narrative will not invent names for those rows.

Obligations on 6,875 records

The published $33,942,257,265.81 is a commitment aggregate. Outlays can lag, especially on multi-year construction vehicles, but this page has no outlay column. No year is in the facts. Award count 6,875 is not unique recipients.

Calling the total “spent on California roads” would invent a modal split.

What the join does not show

The pair does not measure congestion or safety outcomes. It does not connect FEC donations to USAspending. See Department of Transportation in California, California federal spending, Department of Transportation, and All spending ties.

How to read this pair next to the hubs

California’s DOT pair is $33,942,257,265.81 on 6,875 awards. Modal program names are not in the facts and are not assigned shares.

When citing $33,942,257,265.81, name the awarding agency and the place-of-performance state in the same breath. Department of Transportation in California is that citation’s home. California federal spending and Department of Transportation answer wider questions. All spending ties lists other intersections. 6,875 is not unique vendors.

Nothing in the facts converts obligations to outlays or assigns $33,942,257,265.81 to a fiscal year. Nothing lists facilities. Correlation between an agency code and a state code is a join result, not a finding about local economies.

A later harvest can revise totals. Use the overlay as the operational source. Do not sum this page with other overlays to invent a combined presence score. The published pair is $33,942,257,265.81 on 6,875 awards.

De-obligation, modification, and multi-year vehicles can all sit under records that contribute to $33,942,257,265.81. That is another reason 6,875 is not a payment count. An award ID can be quiet in one period and active in another; this aggregate does not say which. The page therefore stops at obligations-as-harvested. Department of Transportation in California is the place to inspect rows. California federal spending and Department of Transportation are the places to drop a key. Campaign-finance datasets remain out of scope: same country, different filing system, no dollar trail into $33,942,257,265.81.

Snapshot language matters. $33,942,257,265.81 and 6,875 are the harvest used to write this file. USAspending aggregates can be rebuilt. If a later overlay disagrees, the live table is the operational source and this prose is historical relative to that packet. That is not a reason to ignore the join; it is a reason not to freeze $33,942,257,265.81 as a permanent law of the state. The keys — awarding agency and place-of-performance state — remain the definition of the page even if the dollars move.

Questions

How much has DOT obligated in California?

USAspending records $33,942,257,265.81 in obligations for agency 069 with California place of performance, on 6,875 awards. That is the DOT–California join only. The pair is awarding agency 069 (Department of Transportation) and place-of-performance California. It is not Department of Transportation nationwide and not California from every awarding agency.

Does this include DHS or HUD in California?

No. Those joins use agencies 070 and 086. This page is Department of Transportation 069: $33,942,257,265.81 on 6,875 awards. Only place-of-performance California plus awarding agency 069 (Department of Transportation) enter $33,942,257,265.81. Adjacent state codes are other filters, if they exist as ties at all.

What is the average award?

About $4.94 million ($33,942,257,265.81 ÷ 6,875). The average mixes award types and is not a typical highway grant. That ratio uses only $33,942,257,265.81 and 6,875 from the packet. A mean hides mix: a few large instruments can sit beside many smaller ones.

Is this all highway spending?

The facts do not split modes. Agency 069 with California place of performance totals $33,942,257,265.81 on 6,875 awards. Modal shares are not in the packet. The facts are agency 069 and place-of-performance California totaling $33,942,257,265.81 on 6,875 awards. Program names, sites, and mission splits are not in this aggregate and are not assigned shares of $33,942,257,265.81.
