Department of Transportation federal obligations in Ohio
USAspending.gov records $9,226,940,859.91 in Department of Transportation obligations under awarding agency 069 with place of performance in Ohio, across 6,564 awards. Ohio’s Transportation cell is a mid-file case in this slice: 6,564 awards against a $9.23 billion obligation sum. That arithmetic sits between thin Energy-style books and the thickest USDA action files. The pair is Department of Transportation and Ohio — not Ohio’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $1.41 million ($9,226,940,859.91 ÷ 6,564).

What the Transportation–Ohio join is
Awarding agency 069 and place-of-performance state OH meet here. $9,226,940,859.91 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 Ohio, and not an outlay register. Highway, transit, aviation, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 069. The packet does not split FHWA, FTA, FAA, or other DOT components. 6,564 is a mid-size action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Dividing $9,226,940,859.91 by 6,564 yields about $1.41 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line, and it is not a lane-mile inventory, not a transit ridership file, and not a crash ranking. A second Transportation slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Ohio’s 069 cell as a synonym for every Transportation account.
Open Department of Transportation in Ohio for the live filtered table, Ohio federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Transportation for agency 069 without a Ohio filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $9,226,940,859.91.
Awarding agency 069 as the Transportation side
USAspending labels awarding agency 069 as Department of Transportation. That code produced $9,226,940,859.91 when crossed with Ohio place of performance. The agency-wide 069 hub does not require OH geography. The Ohio hub does not require Transportation. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 6,564 awards.
This page reports transportation awarding activity that USAspending coded to Ohio. Correlation is not causation: Ohio did not “cause” $9,226,940,859.91 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 069 × OH only. Highway, transit, aviation, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 069. The packet does not split FHWA, FTA, FAA, or other DOT components.
Ohio as place of performance (OH)
Ohio on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Ohio residents. Awards can list OH while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, or Michigan belong on those ties even when a Great Lakes or Appalachian story is the same. Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and the rest of the counties share one OH stamp. Place of performance is OH, not a county map.
Ohio federal spending shows how agency 069 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $9,226,940,859.91 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Ohio by county, metro, or congressional district. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Transportation.
Obligations, not outlays
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $9,226,940,859.91 is that kind of sum for Department of Transportation inside Ohio 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.
Ohio’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 6,564-row Transportation cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $9,226,940,859.91 as given. Treat 6,564 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.

Reading the Transportation–Ohio award mix
6,564 is a mid-size action file: 6,564 rows against $9,226,940,859.91, with an implied mean of about $1.41 million. That mix is neither the thickest USDA-style action books nor the sparsest Energy-style files in this portfolio. It still does not publish a median, a program pie, or a unique-recipient count. Treat 6,564 as award records.
The overlay Department of Transportation in Ohio is the both-keys table. Ohio federal spending and Department of Transportation are parents. All spending ties lists other agency-state pairs. Those hubs are not addends to $9,226,940,859.91.
Questions
- How much Transportation spending is coded to Ohio?
- USAspending.gov lists $9,226,940,859.91 in Department of Transportation obligations across 6,564 Ohio-coded awards.
