Department of Transportation obligations in Texas 14th District (TX-14)

Transportation obligations coded to Texas 14th District (TX-14)

Awarding agency 069 and congressional district TX-14 meet here. $816,056,772.02 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 Texas 14th District (TX-14), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DOT operating administrations or contract versus assistance instruments. 296 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a highway-mile inventory, a transit-ridership total, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $816,056,772.02 by 296 yields about $2,756,948.55 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 296 awards is a moderate DOT file with a different share of its own district total than other Transportation district joins. This page cites TX-14 only. Do not treat TX-14’s 069 cell as a synonym for every Transportation account nationwide. Open Texas 14th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Transportation for agency 069 without the TX-14 filter, Texas federal spending for every awarding agency in the Texas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $816,056,772.02.

What Transportation contributes to this pair

USAspending labels awarding agency 069 as Department of Transportation. That code produced $816,056,772.02 when crossed with Texas 14th District (TX-14) place of performance. The agency-wide 069 hub does not require TX-14 geography. The district hub does not require Transportation. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 296 awards. The packet does not split DOT operating administrations or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 14th District (TX-14) did not “cause” $816,056,772.02 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 069 × TX-14 only. It is not a highway-mile inventory, a transit-ridership total, 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.

District geography versus Texas statewide totals

Texas 14th District (TX-14) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list TX-14 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 069. Texas 14th District (TX-14) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 069. Texas 14th District (TX-14) is a numbered place-of-performance stamp, distinct from TX-20 and TX-31. Do not fold those Texas joins into agency 069.

Why this is not an outlay register

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $816,056,772.02 is that kind of sum for Department of Transportation inside TX-14 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 $816,056,772.02 as given.

Texas’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 296-row Transportation cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 296 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 ($2,756,948.55) is a concentration statistic, not a typical TX-14 Transportation payment.

Live tables versus this snapshot

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Transportation (agency 069) obligated $816,056,772.02 on 296 awards coded to Texas 14th District (TX-14). Name Department of Transportation and Texas 14th District (TX-14) together. Keep the obligation word. If Texas 14th District or Department of Transportation has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a highway-mile inventory, a transit-ridership total, or a named-contractor file. 13.0% of $6,253,917,694.42 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of Transportation, Texas 14th District (TX-14), $816,056,772.02, and 296 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Transportation is the 069 parent without a TX-14 filter. Texas federal spending is the Texas parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Transportation does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

What this packet refuses to infer

296 awards is a moderate DOT file with a different share of its own district total than other Transportation district joins. This page cites TX-14 only. 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 $2,756,948.55) and the district share (13.0% of $6,253,917,694.42) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 14th District and Department of Transportation if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much Transportation spending is coded to Texas 14th District (TX-14)?

USAspending.gov lists $816,056,772.02 in Transportation (agency 069) obligations across 296 awards coded to Texas 14th District (TX-14). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Texas’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 13.0% of the district’s published total ($6,253,917,694.42). Unique recipients are unpublished.

Does $816,056,772.02 include every Transportation program in TX-14?

The packet does not split DOT operating administrations or contract versus assistance instruments. $816,056,772.02 is the combined obligation sum for agency 069 inside TX-14 coding.

Is $816,056,772.02 cash already paid in Texas 14th District (TX-14)?

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.

Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
