DOT obligations in Maryland 6th District (MD-06)

Reading agency 069 inside MD-06

Awarding agency 069 and congressional district MD-06 meet here. $938,723,580.29 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 6th District (MD-06), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DOT modal administrations or contract versus assistance instruments. 180 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a highway-mile inventory, a transit-ridership count, or a named-contractor file.

This page reports transportation awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $938,723,580.29 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $27,489,268,187.93; the 3.4% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Maryland districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays.

Agency 069 without inventing a component pie

USAspending labels awarding agency 069 as Department of Transportation. That code produced $938,723,580.29 when crossed with Maryland 6th District (MD-06) place of performance. The agency-wide 069 hub does not require MD-06 geography. The district hub does not require DOT. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 180 awards. The packet does not split DOT modal administrations or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Maryland 6th District (MD-06) did not “cause” $938,723,580.29 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 069 × MD-06 only. It is not a highway-mile inventory, a transit-ridership count, or a named-contractor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

How Maryland 6th District is coded

Maryland 6th District (MD-06) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list MD-06 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Maryland districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 069. Maryland 6th District (MD-06) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Maryland. Other Maryland districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 069. Maryland 6th District (MD-06) is a numbered geography among Maryland districts. A modest Transportation share of a large district book is still a nine-hundred-million-dollar agency 069 cell, not Maryland statewide DOT.

Maryland federal spending shows how agency 069 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $938,723,580.29 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Maryland 6th District (MD-06) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Transportation. The district-wide obligation total published here is $27,489,268,187.93; $938,723,580.29 is the DOT slice of that denominator.

What the dollar figure is allowed to mean

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $938,723,580.29 is that kind of sum for Department of Transportation inside MD-06 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. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $938,723,580.29 as given.

Maryland’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 180-row DOT cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 180 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($5,215,131) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-06 DOT payment.

Parents of this tie: district, agency, state

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Transportation (agency 069) obligated $938,723,580.29 on 180 awards coded to Maryland 6th District (MD-06). Name Department of Transportation and Maryland 6th District (MD-06) together. Keep the obligation word. If Maryland 6th District or Department of Transportation has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a highway-mile inventory, a transit-ridership count, or a named-contractor file. 3.4% of $27,489,268,187.93 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of Transportation, Maryland 6th District (MD-06), $938,723,580.29, and 180 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Transportation is the 069 parent without a MD-06 filter. Maryland federal spending is the Maryland parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with DOT does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Limits of the MD-06 × 069 snapshot

180 awards is a moderate DOT file. Share near three percent means other awarding agencies occupy most of the published MD-06 mix on other ties. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $5,215,131) and the district share (3.4% of $27,489,268,187.93) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Maryland 6th District and Department of Transportation if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Maryland 6th District (MD-06) as more DOT-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 069 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 069 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $938,723,580.29 and 180 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much DOT spending is coded to Maryland 6th District (MD-06)?

USAspending.gov lists $938,723,580.29 in Department of Transportation obligations across 180 awards with place of performance in Maryland 6th District (MD-06).

Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $5,215,131, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $938,723,580.29 include every DOT program in MD-06?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split DOT modal administrations or contract versus assistance instruments. $938,723,580.29 is the combined obligation sum for agency 069 inside MD-06 coding.

Is $938,723,580.29 cash already paid in Maryland 6th District (MD-06)?

Treating $938,723,580.29 as checks already cleared in Maryland 6th District (MD-06) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 180 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Do FEC donations fund these DOT awards in MD-06?

No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing Maryland geography does not mean donations funded $938,723,580.29 in Maryland 6th District (MD-06).
