Department of Transportation obligations in West Virginia 1st District (WV-01)

DOT × WV-01 is a formula-and-project join, not an Appalachian mile census

This page is a join: Department of Transportation (agency 069) as awarding agency, and West Virginia 1st District (WV-01) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,473,343,907.65 on 1,359 awards. The join is awarding-agency 069 crossed with a WV-01 location field, not West Virginia’s entire transportation budget and not a named-bridge or Appalachian Development Highway roster. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 1,359 awards equal 1,359 miles or 1,359 unique contractors.

Interior roads, Army Corps, or DOT-coded awards in WV-02 sit outside this total unless they also carry agency 069 and WV-01. Mixing those books into $1,473,343,907.65 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and bridge condition is not causation. Sufficiency ratings and project-name tables are not in the packet. Place of performance as WV-01 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,473,343,907.65 in a district treasury. Morgantown-versus-Wheeling folklore is not a geography split in this packet.

1,359 awards behind $1.47 billion

Mean obligation is about $1,084,138.27 if $1,473,343,907.65 were divided evenly across 1,359 lines. That ratio is not a published cost per mile and not a typical letting size. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of miles, bridges, or unique vendors. One thousand three hundred fifty-nine awards is a thick DOT assistance-and-contract file; it is still a row count.

Formula apportionments and project rows can both appear among the 1,359 lines. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open West Virginia 1st District for the stored district table. Do not convert 1,359 into a map of West Virginia 1st District highway projects. The $1,473,343,907.65 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring a lane-mile census.

West Virginia 1st District, not a northern-panhandle highway rollup

West Virginia 1st District (WV-01) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Awards tagged to WV-02 or a neighboring Ohio or Pennsylvania district are out even if the corridor sounds related. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $14,424,326,160.45 across every awarding agency; $1,473,343,907.65 is the Department of Transportation slice — about 10.2% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover agency list.

A statewide DOT figure on West Virginia federal spending mixes every district. Do not rank WV-01 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other West Virginia district cells are other joins. West Virginia federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Department of Transportation dollars to $1,473,343,907.65 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Agency 069 obligations are not bridges already poured

DOT awards often obligate as FHWA, FTA, and FAA assistance rows and draw as states and airports spend. The $1,473,343,907.65 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of bridges poured and not a Treasury outlay total. A FHWA project dashboard dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 069, WV-01 geography, and the obligation metric.

Department of Transportation is the nationwide agency book without a WV-01 filter. This extract does not split highway from transit, and it does not split aviation from rail. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 1,359 awards, agency 069, and West Virginia 1st District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

What the WV-01 DOT table omits

The extract has no project names, bridge IDs, or contractor names. Facts remain $1,473,343,907.65, 1,359 awards, agency 069, Department of Transportation, West Virginia 1st District (WV-01), and district parent $14,424,326,160.45. Letting names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 1,359-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.

Where the DOT × WV-01 pair lives

Start with West Virginia 1st District for the district rollup that contains this Department of Transportation cell. Department of Transportation is the nationwide agency listing. West Virginia federal spending gives West Virginia context without a WV-01 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. 1,359 awards totaling this cell remain an administrative file, not a bridge census. Keep both Department of Transportation and West Virginia 1st District (WV-01) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,473,343,907.65 as cash already paid or as West Virginia’s entire transportation appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join.

Questions

How much DOT spending is obligated in West Virginia 1st District?

USAspending.gov shows $1,473,343,907.65 in Department of Transportation (agency 069) obligations with West Virginia 1st District (WV-01) as place of performance, across 1,359 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district’s full $14,424,326,160.45 parent. Other agencies sit outside this join unless they also carry 069.

Do 1,359 awards mean 1,359 West Virginia bridges?

No. Award count is a row count of Department of Transportation actions tagged to WV-01. It is not a bridge, mile, or vendor census. Mean obligation of about $1,084,138.27 is a quotient of $1,473,343,907.65 and 1,359, not a cost per mile.

Does this DOT cell include Army Corps work in WV-01?

No. This page is awarding agency 069 only. Corps lines are other joins. $1,473,343,907.65 is about 10.2% of the West Virginia 1st District parent $14,424,326,160.45 by arithmetic. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.

Is the WV-01 DOT total already paid as construction?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $1,473,343,907.65 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Invoice draws and remaining balances are not published here.
