Department of Transportation federal obligations in Georgia
USAspending.gov records $8,814,069,235.28 in Department of Transportation obligations under awarding agency 069 with place of performance in Georgia, across 3,257 awards. Hartsfield-Jackson aviation folklore, the Port of Savannah, and Atlanta’s interstate spine are why readers look up Transportation in Georgia. This packet does not isolate an airport AIP award, a harbor project, or an HOV lane. The pair is Department of Transportation and Georgia — not Georgia’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $2.71 million ($8,814,069,235.28 ÷ 3,257).

What the DOT–Georgia join is
Awarding agency 069 and place-of-performance state GA meet here. $8,814,069,235.28 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Transportation’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Georgia, and not an outlay register. Aviation, highway, transit, and maritime offices can share 069. 3,257 awards is a moderate book for this dollar scale — not a proof of any one mode.
3,257 is a moderate row count, consistent with a mix of formula vehicles and project awards, without naming those vehicles. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $8,814,069,235.28 by 3,257 yields about $2.71 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.
Open Department of Transportation in Georgia for the live filtered table, Georgia federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Transportation for agency 069 without a Georgia filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,814,069,235.28.
Awarding agency 069 as the DOT side
USAspending labels awarding agency 069 as Department of Transportation. That code produced $8,814,069,235.28 when crossed with Georgia place of performance. The agency-wide 069 hub does not require GA geography. The Georgia hub does not require DOT. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 3,257 awards.
GDOT’s state ledger and MARTA’s local budget are other books. USAspending agency 069 in Georgia is a federal awarding-agency filter, not those ledgers. A second DOT slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Georgia’s 069 cell as a synonym for every DOT account.
Georgia as place of performance (GA)
Georgia on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Georgia residents. Awards can list GA while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, or North Carolina stay on those ties even when freight crosses the line. Atlanta, Savannah, and south Georgia share one GA stamp.
Georgia federal spending shows how agency 069 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $8,814,069,235.28 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Georgia by county, metro, or congressional district.
Obligations, not outlays
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,814,069,235.28 is that kind of sum for Department of Transportation inside Georgia coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them.
Georgia’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 3,257-row DOT cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $8,814,069,235.28 as given. Treat 3,257 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Questions
- How much DOT spending is coded to Georgia?
- USAspending.gov lists $8,814,069,235.28 in Department of Transportation obligations across 3,257 Georgia-coded awards. Agency 069 × GA is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Georgia’s complete federal ledger. Department of Transportation in Georgia is the live overlay for this pair.

- Does this total include every DOT program in Georgia?
