Department of Transportation federal obligations in Michigan

What the DOT–Michigan join is

Awarding agency 069 and place-of-performance state MI meet here. $8,724,821,876.44 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 Michigan, and not an outlay register. Highway, transit, aviation, and maritime awarding offices can roll up here. The 6,091-row file is thicker than many DOT-state joins in this slice; thickness is not a mode.

6,091 is a mid-thickness book: not a handful of oversized rows, not a farm-program flood of small actions. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $8,724,821,876.44 by 6,091 yields about $1.43 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 Michigan for the live filtered table, Michigan federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Transportation for agency 069 without a Michigan filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,724,821,876.44.

Awarding agency 069 as the DOT side

USAspending labels awarding agency 069 as Department of Transportation. That code produced $8,724,821,876.44 when crossed with Michigan place of performance. The agency-wide 069 hub does not require MI geography. The Michigan hub does not require DOT. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 6,091 awards.

Bridge inventories, MDOT’s state budget, and a Detroit-versus-Upper-Peninsula split are unpublished. Do not convert 6,091 awards into span counts. A second DOT slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Michigan’s 069 cell as a synonym for every DOT account.

Michigan as place of performance (MI)

Michigan on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Michigan residents. Awards can list MI while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, or Ontario-side work that carries another USAspending geography stay outside this MI cell. Detroit, Grand Rapids, and the U.P. share one state stamp.

Michigan federal spending shows how agency 069 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $8,724,821,876.44 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Michigan by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,724,821,876.44 is that kind of sum for Department of Transportation inside Michigan 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.

Michigan’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 6,091-row DOT cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $8,724,821,876.44 as given. Treat 6,091 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.

Questions

How much DOT spending is coded to Michigan?

USAspending.gov lists $8,724,821,876.44 in Department of Transportation obligations across 6,091 Michigan-coded awards. Agency 069 × MI is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Michigan’s complete federal ledger. Department of Transportation in Michigan is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1.43 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every DOT program in Michigan?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $8,724,821,876.44 is the combined obligation sum for agency 069 inside Michigan coding. Open Department of Transportation in Michigan to inspect award lines. 6,091 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.

Is $8,724,821,876.44 cash already paid in Michigan?

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 $8,724,821,876.44 as checks already cleared in Michigan confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 6,091 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Where is the live DOT–Michigan table?

Department of Transportation in Michigan is the overlay. Michigan federal spending and Department of Transportation are the parents. All spending ties lists other agency-state pairs. Those hubs are not addends. Keep both sides of the join when citing $8,724,821,876.44. Place of performance is MI, not a county map. Obligations are not outlays.
