Is $2,507,509,141.31 a measure of lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates?

No. The packet publishes $2,507,509,141.31 and 1,367 awards for agency 069 inside NM coding. Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote the dollar total and the award count together. Obligations are not outlays.

That is the award-record count for 069 × NM. Combined with $2,507,509,141.31, the average is about $1.83 million. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 1,367 is not unique lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. Later ingests can revise the count. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Where is the live table?

Department of Transportation federal obligations in New Mexico

The Department of Transportation shows $2,507,509,141.31 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to New Mexico, across 1,367 awards. Awarding-agency 069 and New Mexico (NM) are the pair. One thousand three hundred sixty-seven awards is a moderate DOT file. Highway, transit, aviation, and other offices can share 069.

DOT awards tagged to New Mexico

Department of Transportation as awarding agency, New Mexico as place-of-performance: 1,367 records summing to $2,507,509,141.31. A Department of Transportation award coded outside NM is out. An award in New Mexico from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma. An El Paso-coded award is Texas.

One thousand three hundred sixty-seven awards is a moderate DOT file. Highway, transit, aviation, and other offices can share 069. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,367 as 1,367 unique lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. The overlay Department of Transportation in New Mexico is the both-keys table. New Mexico federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Transportation is the agency book without an NM filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and the rest of the state share one NM stamp. A mode split is unpublished. Correlation is not causation: New Mexico did not “cause” $2,507,509,141.31 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 069 × NM only.

Not I-40 folklore or a lane-mile census

$2,507,509,141.31 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 NM place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,367 awards as a census of lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Mexico federal spending or Department of Transportation matched $2,507,509,141.31 and 1,367, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Texas, Arizona, and Colorado DOT joins are other pairs, not addends.

New Mexico, not a Four Corners rollup

Place of performance NM is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma. An El Paso-coded award is Texas. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and the rest of the state share one NM stamp. A mode split is unpublished. This packet does not split $2,507,509,141.31 by city, county, or named facility. 1,367 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Moderate DOT file, still commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,507,509,141.31 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New Mexico confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New Mexico’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,367-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 $2,507,509,141.31.

Citing DOT in New Mexico

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Transportation (agency 069) obligated $2,507,509,141.31 on 1,367 awards coded to New Mexico. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates.

Prefer Department of Transportation in New Mexico if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New Mexico federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NM. Department of Transportation is the 069 parent without the NM filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,507,509,141.31.

A usable footnote names Department of Transportation, New Mexico, $2,507,509,141.31, and 1,367. The compact headline $2.51 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $1.83 million is $2,507,509,141.31 divided by 1,367. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
