Department of Transportation federal obligations in Pennsylvania

Transportation meeting Pennsylvania

Agency 069 awards tagged to Pennsylvania sum to $13,522,751,304.31 on 4,685 awards. Parallel DOT joins in other states can look similar in row count and still differ in obligation totals. Similarity is not a quality score for bridges or transit.

Pennsylvania also has HUD and EPA ties, with very different award counts on different codes. Same state, different agencies. This page only carries the Transportation pair.

Pennsylvania’s 4,685 Transportation awards are a statewide set. A reader who cares only about Philadelphia or Pittsburgh will not find those metros separated in $13,522,751,304.31. Inventing a metro percentage would violate the packet. The overlay may offer more detail; this narrative does not.

Awarding agency 069

The Department of Transportation hub is nationwide. $13,522,751,304.31 is the Pennsylvania geography filter. Awards that list New Jersey, Ohio, or New York as place of performance stay off this page even when a corridor crosses the state line.

Overlay /states/pa/agencies/069/ is the matching table for 4,685 awards. This narrative does not name transit authorities or airports; those proper nouns are not in the facts.

Pennsylvania place of performance

PA as a geography tag can include Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and the rest of the Commonwealth in one $13,522,751,304.31 bucket. No metro split is provided. The Pennsylvania federal spending hub is the parent table for all awarding agencies.

Place of performance is not the same as the PennDOT org chart. Federal awards coded to Pennsylvania enter this cell; state-only transportation spending does not, because this is a USAspending federal table.

Federal transportation dollars in Pennsylvania are not the same as PennDOT’s own capital program. This is a USAspending awarding-agency table for 069. State-only funds never enter the 4,685-award count. Mixing the two ledgers is a common way to inflate what “federal transportation in Pennsylvania” means.

Commitments on 4,685 awards

Obligations of $13,522,751,304.31 are legal commitments. Outlays can follow over multiple years. No fiscal year is in the facts, so the total is not pinned to a single construction season.

The mean of about $2.89 million is a quotient. Other Pennsylvania agencies produce different table shapes on different codes; that is not a ranking of which department matters more.

Pennsylvania DOT’s 4,685 awards under $13,522,751,304.31 sit in the same mid-count infrastructure band as several other DOT state cells, which is a description of table shape, not a finding that the projects are alike. Without a mode split, transit and highway shares remain unknown. State capital programs remain a different ledger. Cite the pair as agency 069 and PA, then stop before turning the mean of about $2.89 million into a typical letting size.

What the pair does not show

The join does not claim DOT spending caused Pennsylvania employment or safety outcomes. It records that agency 069 and state PA co-occur on 4,685 awards totaling $13,522,751,304.31. Campaign-finance records are not merged in.

Pennsylvania DOT awards are not itemized by turnpike, transit agency, or airport in the facts. $13,522,751,304.31 is the statewide 069 total. The 4,685-award count is not 4,685 construction sites. Other Pennsylvania agency overlays exist with different codes; their row counts are not repeated here.

After the Pennsylvania Transportation join

Department of Transportation in Pennsylvania is the overlay. Pennsylvania federal spending is the parent. Department of Transportation is agency 069 nationwide. All spending ties lists other pairs. HUD and EPA have Pennsylvania pages of their own; those are different missions and different table shapes, not competitors for a quality ranking.

Four thousand six hundred eighty-five awards and a mean near $2.89 million sit in a familiar infrastructure band. Familiar is not identical. Without a mode split, this page cannot say how much of $13,522,751,304.31 is transit versus highway. Obligations can span multiple years. Outlays and fiscal years are not in the packet. State-only transportation spending is a different ledger and is not included.

Anyone citing $13,522,751,304.31 should keep agency 069 and Pennsylvania attached so the 4,685-award count is not treated as PennDOT’s own program. Continue at the DOT overlay, the Pennsylvania hub, the national DOT profile, and the ties index. Mode shares, metro shares, and fiscal years are unpublished. The mean near $2.89 million is a quotient, not a typical letting.
