Department of Transportation federal obligations in Virginia

Transportation dollars meeting Virginia geography

Agency 069, Department of Transportation, plus Virginia place of performance, sums to $14,825,172,576.06 on 5,339 awards. Other states’ DOT cells have different dollar totals and similar or different award counts. Those are neighboring joins, not a ranking of whose roads are better. USAspending does not score pavement.

Five thousand three hundred thirty-nine awards is close to several other DOT state cells. The Virginia mean of about $2.78 million is therefore in a similar band to those peers. Similarity of means is still not evidence that the same mix of transit, highway, and aviation awards sits in each state.

Northern Virginia’s role as a federal contractor corridor does not move extra dollars into this cell automatically. Only awards whose place-of-performance state is VA contribute to $14,825,172,576.06. A contractor with a Virginia office can still be absent if the award lists another state. The 5,339-award count follows the same geography rule, not a roster of Virginia DOT field offices.

Agency 069 on the awarding side

The Department of Transportation hub is nationwide. Virginia’s $14,825,172,576.06 is the VA filter on that hub. Awards that serve the National Capital Region but list DC or Maryland as place of performance are not in this cell. Corridor logic and USAspending geography are different systems.

Overlay /states/va/agencies/069/ is the matching table. The 5,339 count should be read against that overlay rather than against a separately compiled list of VDOT-related federal grants.

Virginia as place of performance

VA is the state tag. Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia, and southwest counties can share the $14,825,172,576.06 bucket. No county split is in the facts. The Virginia federal spending hub shows how Transportation sits among other awarding agencies in the same state.

Place of performance is not recipient headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can appear here if the award lists Virginia; a Virginia firm can be absent if the award lists another state.

Statewide Virginia spending remains the parent view when a reader wants Transportation beside Justice, Treasury, or State. Those other joins have their own overlays and their own obligation totals. Stacking them with $14,825,172,576.06 is a way to compare cells, not a way to reconstruct a Commonwealth budget. Missing agencies still sit outside the stack.

Obligations across 5,339 awards

The $14,825,172,576.06 figure is obligations. Multi-year infrastructure awards often commit funding that pays out later. Outlays are not in the facts. Neither is a fiscal year. This page therefore does not attach the total to a single budget year.

Mean obligation of about $2.78 million is a quotient. It is not FHWA’s typical project size. Without award-type shares, the 5,339 rows remain an undifferentiated count.

A 5,339-award Transportation cell in Virginia is large enough to look complete and still omit every award tagged DC or Maryland. Completeness is the wrong word. $14,825,172,576.06 is the VA filter on agency 069. Readers who need a capital-region transportation picture have to open neighboring-state overlays as well, then remember those overlays are still not one merged project list. Obligations can cover multiple years of performance; this page still has no outlay total and no fiscal year to pin on the dollars.

Limits

The pair does not claim Transportation spending caused Virginia growth, congestion change, or safety outcomes. It records co-occurrence of agency 069 and state VA on 5,339 awards. It does not import FEC contribution data.

See Department of Transportation in Virginia, Virginia federal spending, Department of Transportation, and All spending ties.

Capital-region transportation work is easy to picture spanning DC, Maryland, and Virginia. USAspending does not merge those states. $14,825,172,576.06 includes only awards whose place-of-performance state is VA. A corridor that the public describes as regional still enters this cell only if the geography tag is Virginia.

Follow-on tables for this pair

Department of Transportation in Virginia is the overlay. Virginia federal spending is every awarding agency in the Commonwealth. Department of Transportation is agency 069 nationwide. All spending ties lists other joins. Use those pages to compare Transportation with Justice, Treasury, or State in Virginia without adding their dollars into $14,825,172,576.06.

Five thousand three hundred thirty-nine awards and a mean near $2.78 million describe table shape. They do not describe pavement condition, transit ridership, or port throughput. No mode split is in the facts. Obligations can cover multi-year projects; outlays are unreported. No fiscal year is attached. The pair is a filter, not a report card on Virginia infrastructure.

Questions

How much has DOT obligated in Virginia?

USAspending records $14,825,172,576.06 in Department of Transportation (agency 069) obligations with Virginia place of performance, across 5,339 awards. That is an obligation total for the pair, not outlays.

What is the average DOT award in Virginia?

About $2.78 million, from $14,825,172,576.06 divided by 5,339 awards. That mean is not a median and not a mode-level typical grant.
