Department of Transportation obligations in South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00)

The South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) filter on DOT

Awarding agency 069 and congressional district SD-00 meet here. $1,322,574,050.71 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 South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DOT modes or contract versus assistance instruments. 776 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a highway-mile inventory, a transit-ridership count, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $1,322,574,050.71 by 776 yields about $1,704,348 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 776 awards is a moderate DOT file. Mode splits (highway, transit, aviation) are unpublished. Do not treat SD-00's 069 cell as a synonym for every DOT account nationwide. Open South Dakota At-Large District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Transportation for agency 069 without a SD-00 filter, South Dakota federal spending for every awarding agency in the South Dakota extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,322,574,050.71.

The Department of Transportation awarding-agency rollup

USAspending labels awarding agency 069 as Department of Transportation. That code produced $1,322,574,050.71 when crossed with South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) place of performance. The agency-wide 069 hub does not require SD-00 geography. The district hub does not require DOT. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 776 awards. The packet does not split DOT modes or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) did not cause $1,322,574,050.71 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 069 × SD-00 only. This cell is not a highway-mile inventory, a transit-ridership count, or a named-contractor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Reading the SD-00 stamp

South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list SD-00 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other South Dakota districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 069. South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside South Dakota. Other South Dakota districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 069. South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) is the state's only voting House geography in this extract. Other at-large Transportation cells, including North Dakota, are different joins.

This packet does not split South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Transportation. The district-wide obligation total published here is $20,304,783,123.44; $1,322,574,050.71 is the DOT slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,322,574,050.71 is that kind of sum for Department of Transportation inside SD-00 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. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,322,574,050.71 as given.

South Dakota's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 776-row DOT cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 776 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. The implied mean ($1,704,348) is a concentration statistic, not a typical SD-00 DOT payment.

Row count versus dollar concentration

776 awards is a moderate DOT file. Mode splits (highway, transit, aviation) are unpublished. North Dakota At-Large also hosts Transportation on this harvest. Same awarding-agency code 069, different state stamp, different dollar total. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $1,704,348) and the district share (6.5% of $20,304,783,123.44) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer South Dakota At-Large District and Department of Transportation if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much DOT spending is coded to South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00)?

USAspending.gov lists $1,322,574,050.71 in Department of Transportation obligations across 776 awards with place of performance in South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00). Agency 069 × SD-00 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not South Dakota's complete federal ledger. The cell is 6.5% of the district's published total ($20,304,783,123.44). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1,704,348, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $1,322,574,050.71 include every DOT program in SD-00?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split DOT modes or contract versus assistance instruments. $1,322,574,050.71 is the combined obligation sum for agency 069 inside SD-00 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Transportation and South Dakota At-Large District to inspect parent tables. 776 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $1,322,574,050.71 cash already paid in South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00)?

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 $1,322,574,050.71 as checks already cleared in South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 776 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $1,704,348 not a typical award?

The average is $1,322,574,050.71 divided by 776 awards, about $1,704,348. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
