Department of Transportation obligations in Virginia 10th District (VA-10)

Awarding agency 069 and Virginia 10th District (VA-10) meet at $1,200,591,790.72 in USAspending.gov obligations, spread across 461 awards. Four hundred sixty-one Transportation-coded awards cover about four percent of VA-10's district obligation total, a fourth Virginia 10th awarding-agency slice on this harvest. That pair is Department of Transportation and Virginia 10th District (VA-10) — not Virginia's entire federal inflow, not Department of Transportation nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 4.4% of this district's published obligation total ($27,507,429,805.20). Implied average obligation is about $2,604,320.59 ($1,200,591,790.72 ÷ 461). Correlation is not causation.

Reading agency 069 inside VA-10

Awarding agency 069 and congressional district VA-10 meet here. $1,200,591,790.72 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 Virginia 10th District (VA-10), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DOT modes or contract versus assistance instruments. 461 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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.

This page reports transportation awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $1,200,591,790.72 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $27,507,429,805.20; the 4.4% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Virginia districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays.

Agency 069 without inventing a component pie

USAspending labels awarding agency 069 as Department of Transportation. That code produced $1,200,591,790.72 when crossed with Virginia 10th District (VA-10) place of performance. The agency-wide 069 hub does not require VA-10 geography. The district hub does not require DOT. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 461 awards. The packet does not split DOT modes or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Virginia 10th District (VA-10) did not cause $1,200,591,790.72 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 069 × VA-10 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.

How Virginia 10th District is coded

Virginia 10th District (VA-10) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list VA-10 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Virginia districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 069. Virginia 10th District (VA-10) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Virginia. Other Virginia districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 069. Virginia 10th District (VA-10) already hosts DHS, State, and NASA on sibling ties. This page is agency 069 only. Virginia 11th DOT is a different district.

Virginia federal spending shows how agency 069 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $1,200,591,790.72 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Virginia 10th District (VA-10) 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 $27,507,429,805.20; $1,200,591,790.72 is the DOT slice of that denominator.

What the dollar figure is allowed to mean

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,200,591,790.72 is that kind of sum for Department of Transportation inside VA-10 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 $1,200,591,790.72 as given.

Virginia's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 461-row DOT cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 461 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 ($2,604,320.59) is a concentration statistic, not a typical VA-10 DOT payment.

Parents of this tie: district, agency, state

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Transportation (agency 069) obligated $1,200,591,790.72 on 461 awards coded to Virginia 10th District (VA-10). Name Department of Transportation and Virginia 10th District (VA-10) together. Keep the obligation word. If Virginia 10th 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 count, or a named-contractor file. 4.4% of $27,507,429,805.20 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of Transportation, Virginia 10th District (VA-10), $1,200,591,790.72, and 461 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Transportation is the 069 parent without a VA-10 filter. Virginia federal spending is the Virginia parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with DOT does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Limits of the VA-10 × 069 snapshot

461 awards is a moderate DOT file, close to the DHS row count on the same stamp and not a reason to merge the two agencies. Virginia 11th Transportation is a different geography with a much larger district book. Same agency 069, different stamp, different share. 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 $2,604,320.59) and the district share (4.4% of $27,507,429,805.20) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Virginia 10th District and Department of Transportation if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Virginia 10th District (VA-10) as more DOT-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 069 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 069 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $1,200,591,790.72 and 461 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much DOT spending is coded to Virginia 10th District (VA-10)?
USAspending.gov lists $1,200,591,790.72 in Department of Transportation obligations across 461 awards with place of performance in Virginia 10th District (VA-10). Agency 069 × VA-10 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Virginia's complete federal ledger. The cell is 4.4% of the district's published total ($27,507,429,805.20). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $2,604,320.59, a ratio of those two facts only.
Does $1,200,591,790.72 include every DOT program in VA-10?
The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split DOT modes or contract versus assistance instruments. $1,200,591,790.72 is the combined obligation sum for agency 069 inside VA-10 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Transportation and Virginia 10th District to inspect parent tables. 461 remains an action count, not a program count.
Is $1,200,591,790.72 cash already paid in Virginia 10th District (VA-10)?
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 $1,200,591,790.72 as checks already cleared in Virginia 10th District (VA-10) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 461 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
Do FEC donations fund these DOT awards in VA-10?
No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing Virginia geography does not mean donations funded $1,200,591,790.72 in Virginia 10th District (VA-10). This page reports USAspending.gov awarding-agency 069 crossed with place of performance VA-10. It does not report campaign finance. Keep Department of Transportation and Virginia 10th District (VA-10) on the same citation.

USAspending.gov congressional district place-of-performance joined to awarding agency. District 90/98 (multi/non-voting placeholders) are omitted. Obligations are not outlays.
