Department of Transportation federal obligations in New Hampshire

The Department of Transportation shows $1,503,386,056.56 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to New Hampshire, across 1,076 awards. Awarding-agency 069 and New Hampshire (NH) are the pair. One thousand seventy-six awards sits in a mid-count DOT band. Modifications can add rows without each row being a new construction project. The implied mean is about $1.40 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • DOT in New Hampshire: $1,503,386,056.56 across 1,076 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $1.40 million per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
  • Agency 069 × NH is not a measure of lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

DOT awards tagged to New Hampshire

Department of Transportation as awarding agency, New Hampshire as place-of-performance: 1,076 records summing to $1,503,386,056.56. A Department of Transportation award coded outside NH is out. An award in New Hampshire from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Hampshire (NH) excludes Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York. A Boston-coded award is Massachusetts even if the corridor crosses the border.

One thousand seventy-six awards sits in a mid-count DOT band. Modifications can add rows without each row being a new construction project. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,076 as 1,076 unique lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. The overlay Department of Transportation in New Hampshire is the both-keys table. New Hampshire federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Transportation is the agency book without an NH filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

The I-93 widening story is not a packet split. $1,503,386,056.56 stays statewide. Correlation is not causation: New Hampshire did not cause $1,503,386,056.56 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 069 × NH only.

Not I-93 folklore or a bridge census

$1,503,386,056.56 does not measure lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 069 and an NH place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,076 awards as a census of lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Hampshire federal spending or Department of Transportation matched $1,503,386,056.56 and 1,076, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts DOT joins are other pairs, not addends.

New Hampshire, not a Boston-commute rollup

Place of performance NH is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New Hampshire (NH) excludes Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York. A Boston-coded award is Massachusetts even if the corridor crosses the border. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

The I-93 widening story is not a packet split. $1,503,386,056.56 stays statewide. This packet does not split $1,503,386,056.56 by city, county, or named facility. 1,076 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Award stock versus contractor draws

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,503,386,056.56 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New Hampshire confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New Hampshire’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,076-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $1,503,386,056.56.

Citing DOT in New Hampshire

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Transportation (agency 069) obligated $1,503,386,056.56 on 1,076 awards coded to New Hampshire. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates.

Prefer Department of Transportation in New Hampshire if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New Hampshire federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NH. Department of Transportation is the 069 parent without the NH filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,503,386,056.56.

A usable footnote names Department of Transportation, New Hampshire, $1,503,386,056.56, and 1,076. The compact headline $1.50 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $1.40 million is $1,503,386,056.56 divided by 1,076. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
