Department of Transportation federal obligations in Illinois

The Illinois–Transportation intersection

Department of Transportation (agency 069) awards with Illinois place of performance sum to $14,267,748,023.17 on 4,769 awards. Other states have their own DOT cells with different dollar totals. Those are parallel filters, not a contest. This page only restates the Illinois cell.

Four thousand seven hundred sixty-nine awards sits beside other Illinois agency cells that use different codes and different row counts. Same state, different agencies, different table shapes. Stacking them reconstructs neither a state budget nor a complete federal footprint.

Freight corridors that cross from Illinois into Indiana or Missouri do not automatically appear here. $14,267,748,023.17 is the IL-tagged slice of agency 069. The 4,769-award count excludes rows whose geography field is another state, even when the public describes the project as regional. That is a tagging rule, not a judgment about which state “owns” the corridor.

Agency 069 without an Illinois filter

Nationwide Transportation spending lives on the agency 069 hub. $14,267,748,023.17 is the Illinois geography only. Awards coded to Indiana, Missouri, or Wisconsin — even on a shared freight corridor — stay off this page if place of performance is not IL.

The overlay /states/il/agencies/069/ is the source table for 4,769 awards. This copy does not add project names. Naming a particular transit agency or interstate would invent content.

Illinois geography

IL as place of performance can cover Cook County, collar counties, and the rest of the state in one $14,267,748,023.17 sum. No metro split is in the facts. The Illinois federal spending hub is the parent geography for all awarding agencies.

Recipient location can differ from place of performance. An out-of-state contractor can appear in the Illinois cell if the award lists IL; an Illinois contractor can appear elsewhere if the award lists another state.

Illinois federal spending is the page that lists Transportation next to Education, HUD, and every other awarding agency. This tie page isolates 069. Readers comparing missions should switch hubs rather than assuming $14,267,748,023.17 is interchangeable with another Illinois cell of similar size.

Obligations and the $2.99 million mean

About $2.99 million per award is a mean, not a typical letting. Infrastructure awards vary widely. The facts provide no median and no award-type share. Obligations of $14,267,748,023.17 remain commitments rather than checks cleared.

No fiscal year is in the packet. The total is therefore not labeled as a single construction season. Readers who need yearly series should use the overlay table if it offers that dimension, not this narrative.

Illinois DOT’s 4,769 awards totaling $14,267,748,023.17 should be cited as a place-of-performance cell, not as “what Illinois received.” Recipient headquarters can differ from the geography tag. An out-of-state firm can appear here; an Illinois firm can appear elsewhere. That mismatch is normal in USAspending and is not an error in the $14.27 billion figure. It is a reason not to treat the join as an economic-impact study.

What not to infer

The join does not say Transportation spending caused Illinois employment change or congestion change. It records agency 069 and state IL on 4,769 awards totaling $14,267,748,023.17. It does not merge campaign-finance records.

See Department of Transportation in Illinois, Illinois federal spending, Department of Transportation, and All spending ties.

Illinois transportation awards are not allocated among Chicago transit, downstate highways, or aviation in the facts. $14,267,748,023.17 is the statewide 069 cell. Naming a particular authority as the recipient of that sum would go beyond the packet. The 4,769-award count is likewise statewide and unsplit.

Related Illinois and DOT pages

Department of Transportation in Illinois is the overlay. Illinois federal spending is the parent for every awarding agency. Department of Transportation is agency 069 nationwide. All spending ties lists other pairs. Education and HUD have their own Illinois overlays with different codes and different row counts; their dollars are not inside this Transportation cell.

Four thousand seven hundred sixty-nine awards and a mean near $2.99 million describe a mid-count infrastructure table. They do not measure freight volumes or commute times. Multi-state corridors coded to Indiana or Missouri stay off this page. Obligations are not outlays. No fiscal year is supplied. The join records agency 069 and state IL together, not a verdict on Illinois infrastructure policy.
