Department of Transportation federal obligations in Maryland

What the DOT–Maryland join is

Awarding agency 069 and place-of-performance state MD meet here. $8,430,796,793.91 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 Maryland, and not an outlay register. Highway, transit, aviation, and maritime offices can share 069. A 2,090-row file against $8.43 billion is thinner than Michigan’s DOT book in this slice; thickness is not a quality score.

2,090 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $8,430,796,793.91 by 2,090 yields about $4.03 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 Maryland for the live filtered table, Maryland federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Transportation for agency 069 without a Maryland filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,430,796,793.91.

Awarding agency 069 as the DOT side

USAspending labels awarding agency 069 as Department of Transportation. That code produced $8,430,796,793.91 when crossed with Maryland place of performance. The agency-wide 069 hub does not require MD geography. The Maryland hub does not require DOT. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 2,090 awards.

MDOT’s state budget and a Purple Line versus I-95 split are unpublished. 2,090 awards is not a count of Maryland highway projects. A second DOT slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Maryland’s 069 cell as a synonym for every DOT account.

Maryland as place of performance (MD)

Maryland on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Maryland residents. Awards can list MD while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged the District of Columbia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, or West Virginia stay on those ties even when the commute is the same. Baltimore, the Washington suburbs, and the Eastern Shore share one MD stamp.

Maryland federal spending shows how agency 069 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $8,430,796,793.91 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Maryland by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,430,796,793.91 is that kind of sum for Department of Transportation inside Maryland 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.

Maryland’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 2,090-row DOT cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $8,430,796,793.91 as given. Treat 2,090 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Questions

How much DOT spending is coded to Maryland?

USAspending.gov lists $8,430,796,793.91 in Department of Transportation obligations across 2,090 Maryland-coded awards. Agency 069 × MD is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Maryland’s complete federal ledger. Department of Transportation in Maryland is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $4.03 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every DOT program in Maryland?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $8,430,796,793.91 is the combined obligation sum for agency 069 inside Maryland coding. Open Department of Transportation in Maryland to inspect award lines. 2,090 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.

Is $8,430,796,793.91 cash already paid in Maryland?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $8,430,796,793.91 as checks already cleared in Maryland confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 2,090 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
