Department of Transportation federal obligations in Minnesota

What the DOT–Minnesota join is

Awarding agency 069 and place-of-performance state MN meet here. $7,347,715,747.96 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 Minnesota, and not an outlay register. Highway, transit, aviation, and maritime offices can share 069. A thinner row count against $7.35 billion raises the mean; that is not a typical project size.

1,839 is a thin award file: relatively few rows, so the mean is large and easy to misread as a typical grant. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $7,347,715,747.96 by 1,839 yields about $4.00 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 Minnesota for the live filtered table, Minnesota federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Transportation for agency 069 without a Minnesota filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $7,347,715,747.96.

Awarding agency 069 as the DOT side

USAspending labels awarding agency 069 as Department of Transportation. That code produced $7,347,715,747.96 when crossed with Minnesota place of performance. The agency-wide 069 hub does not require MN geography. The Minnesota hub does not require DOT. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 1,839 awards.

MnDOT’s state budget and an FTA versus FHWA split are unpublished. 1,839 awards is among the thinner DOT books in this slice. A second DOT slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Minnesota’s 069 cell as a synonym for every DOT account.

Minnesota as place of performance (MN)

Minnesota on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Minnesota residents. Awards can list MN while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, or South Dakota stay on those ties. Hennepin County, Duluth, and Greater Minnesota share one MN stamp. Superior, Wisconsin is a different state key.

Minnesota federal spending shows how agency 069 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $7,347,715,747.96 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Minnesota by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $7,347,715,747.96 is that kind of sum for Department of Transportation inside Minnesota 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.

Minnesota’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1,839-row DOT cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $7,347,715,747.96 as given. Treat 1,839 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

How to cite DOT in Minnesota

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Transportation (agency 069) obligated $7,347,715,747.96 on 1,839 awards coded to Minnesota. Name Department of Transportation and Minnesota together.

Keep Department of Transportation, Minnesota, $7,347,715,747.96, and 1,839 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Transportation is the 069 parent without a Minnesota filter. Do not add those parents to this cell. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.

Questions

How much DOT spending is coded to Minnesota?

USAspending.gov lists $7,347,715,747.96 in Department of Transportation obligations across 1,839 Minnesota-coded awards. Agency 069 × MN is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Minnesota’s complete federal ledger. Department of Transportation in Minnesota is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $4.00 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every DOT program in Minnesota?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $7,347,715,747.96 is the combined obligation sum for agency 069 inside Minnesota coding. Open Department of Transportation in Minnesota to inspect award lines. 1,839 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.

Is $7,347,715,747.96 cash already paid in Minnesota?

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 $7,347,715,747.96 as checks already cleared in Minnesota confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 1,839 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Where is the live DOT–Minnesota table?

Department of Transportation in Minnesota is the overlay. Minnesota 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 $7,347,715,747.96. Place of performance is MN, not a county map. Obligations are not outlays.
