Department of Transportation federal obligations in Washington

What the DOT–Washington join is

Awarding agency 069 and place-of-performance state WA meet here. $7,975,464,931.54 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 Washington, and not an outlay register. Highway, transit, aviation, rail, and maritime offices can share 069. A 2,598-row file sits near North Carolina’s DOT count in this slice; similar counts do not imply similar mode mix.

2,598 is a moderate row count, consistent with a mix of formula vehicles and project awards, without naming those vehicles. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $7,975,464,931.54 by 2,598 yields about $3.07 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.

Open Department of Transportation in Washington for the live filtered table, Washington federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Transportation for agency 069 without a Washington filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $7,975,464,931.54.

Awarding agency 069 as the DOT side

USAspending labels awarding agency 069 as Department of Transportation. That code produced $7,975,464,931.54 when crossed with Washington place of performance. The agency-wide 069 hub does not require WA geography. The Washington hub does not require DOT. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 2,598 awards.

WSDOT’s state budget, a ferry-replacement line, and an FAA versus FHWA split are unpublished. 2,598 awards is not a count of Cascade highway projects. A second DOT slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Washington’s 069 cell as a synonym for every DOT account.

Washington as place of performance (WA)

Washington on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Washington residents. Awards can list WA while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Oregon, Idaho, or the District of Columbia stay on those ties. Puget Sound, Spokane, and the Olympic Peninsula share one WA stamp. Do not fold DC Education or DC Energy cells into this page.

Washington federal spending shows how agency 069 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $7,975,464,931.54 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Washington by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $7,975,464,931.54 is that kind of sum for Department of Transportation inside Washington 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.

Washington’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 2,598-row DOT cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $7,975,464,931.54 as given. Treat 2,598 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Questions

How much DOT spending is coded to Washington?

USAspending.gov lists $7,975,464,931.54 in Department of Transportation obligations across 2,598 Washington-coded awards. Agency 069 × WA is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Washington’s complete federal ledger. Department of Transportation in Washington is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $3.07 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every DOT program in Washington?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $7,975,464,931.54 is the combined obligation sum for agency 069 inside Washington coding. Open Department of Transportation in Washington to inspect award lines. 2,598 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.

Is $7,975,464,931.54 cash already paid in Washington?

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 $7,975,464,931.54 as checks already cleared in Washington confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 2,598 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
