A thicker DOT file on a Vermont tag

Department of Transportation as awarding agency, Vermont as place-of-performance: 1,857 records summing to $1,499,899,518.66. A Department of Transportation award coded outside VT is out. An award in Vermont from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Vermont (VT) excludes New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, and Quebec. Place of performance is VT, not a bi-state I-89 map.

One thousand eight hundred fifty-seven awards is thicker than a thin Energy cell and still a record count, not unique projects. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,857 as 1,857 unique lane-miles, unique contractors, or named state routes. The overlay Department of Transportation in Vermont is the both-keys table. Vermont federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Transportation is the agency book without a VT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Burlington is unpublished as a metro share. Do not treat 1,857 as a two-city project list. Correlation is not causation: Vermont did not cause $1,499,899,518.66 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 069 × VT only.

Covered bridges are not USAspending fields

$1,499,899,518.66 does not measure lane-miles, unique contractors, or named state routes. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 069 and a VT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,857 awards as a census of lane-miles, unique contractors, or named state routes. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Vermont federal spending or Department of Transportation matched $1,499,899,518.66 and 1,857, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Hampshire, New York, and Massachusetts DOT joins are other pairs, not addends.

Vermont statewide, not a Champlain-versus-Northeast Kingdom split

Place of performance VT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Vermont (VT) excludes New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, and Quebec. Place of performance is VT, not a bi-state I-89 map. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Burlington is unpublished as a metro share. Do not treat 1,857 as a two-city project list. This packet does not split $1,499,899,518.66 by city, county, or named facility. 1,857 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Obligations ahead of contractor invoices

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,499,899,518.66 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Vermont confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Vermont’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,857-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $1,499,899,518.66.

How to cite DOT in Vermont

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Transportation (agency 069) obligated $1,499,899,518.66 on 1,857 awards coded to Vermont. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as lane-miles, unique contractors, or named state routes.

Prefer Department of Transportation in Vermont if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Vermont federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to VT. Department of Transportation is the 069 parent without the VT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,499,899,518.66.

A usable footnote names Department of Transportation, Vermont, $1,499,899,518.66, and 1,857. The compact headline $1.50 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $807,700 is $1,499,899,518.66 divided by 1,857. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
