Department of Transportation federal obligations in Texas

Transportation awards tagged to Texas

This page isolates awarding agency 069 and Texas (TX) place of performance. The $22,079,201,515.51 total is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. Texas’s all-agency hub includes Defense, HHS, and many other departments; those are other columns. The national DOT hub includes every state. This cell is only 069 plus TX.

Five thousand eight hundred eighty-three awards against $22.08 billion is a moderate row count — thicker than Energy-style books with under 200 rows, thinner than Defense books with tens of thousands. The shape is consistent with a mix of formula grants and project awards, but the facts do not name FHWA, FTA, or FAA. Inferring a single mode from the department label would overfit the aggregate.

Texas DOT’s 5,883 records and $22,079,201,515.51 will be quoted as a highway number. Highway is one mode. Transit, aviation, rail, and maritime offices can sit under 069. The packet does not isolate IH-10, a metro rail grant, or an airport AIP award. If the question is a mode, this join is the wrong grain. If the question is agency 069 in TX, it is the right grain.

Awarding agency 069

Code 069 is the Department of Transportation in this extract. Operating administrations can roll up under that parent. This packet supplies one dollar total and one award count. The overlay /states/tx/agencies/069/ is the table view of the same pair.

Readers who want DOT awards without a Texas constraint should open the agency 069 hub. Stretching $22,079,201,515.51 into a national DOT total would drop the state filter that defines the page.

Texas as place of performance

Texas is state code TX. Place of performance can follow work in-state, a recipient such as a state DOT, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, or Arkansas stay outside this $22,079,201,515.51 sum even when corridors cross those borders. The join does not reconstruct multi-state highway projects.

Statewide Texas federal spending is the parent geography. DOT is one awarding agency inside it. A large transportation cell does not make Texas’s other agency cells small; those have their own facts.

Reading 5,883 awards under $22.08 billion

Mean obligation of about $3.75 million ($22,079,201,515.51 ÷ 5,883) is a concentration statistic. Formula assistance to a state can produce large rows; small planning grants can produce small ones. This page has no median and no project list. 5,883 is an award-record count, not 5,883 bridges.

Net obligations can include de-obligations and amendments. The average is not a typical construction-contract invoice.

What the DOT–Texas pair is not

Sharing a state with DOT does not mean Texas campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. The page does not rank Texas roads against other states. It reports one USAspending join.

How to read the Texas–DOT numbers

Texas DOT ($22,079,201,515.51, 5,883 awards) is not TxDOT’s state budget and not a mile-by-mile letting list. It is federal awarding agency 069 with TX place of performance. State transportation dollars that never pass through a federal award stay out. Federal Defense or Energy construction in Texas also stays out unless coded 069. Five thousand eight hundred eighty-three rows can mix formula apportionments, discretionary grants, and contracts. FHWA, FTA, FAA, FRA, and maritime offices can all sit under 069. The $22,079,201,515.51 total does not say which mode dominates. Mode questions need a finer extract.

Texas borders Mexico as well as Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, and Louisiana. International crossings and multi-state corridors still receive one state tag in this file. An award listed as OK is not in this cell. The $22,079,201,515.51 sum is not a map of I-10 or I-35.
