Department of Transportation obligations in Wyoming At-Large District (WY-00)

DOT × WY-00 is a formula-and-project join, not a lane-mile census

This page is a join: Department of Transportation (agency 069) as awarding agency, and Wyoming At-Large District (WY-00) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,817,296,614.29 on 1,100 awards. The join is awarding-agency 069 crossed with Wyoming’s at-large district tag, not Wyoming’s entire transportation budget and not a named-project roster. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 1,100 awards equal 1,100 miles or 1,100 unique contractors.

Interior road programs, USDA forest highways, or DOT-coded awards in a neighboring state sit outside this total unless they also carry agency 069 and WY-00. Mixing those books into $1,817,296,614.29 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and lane miles is not causation. Mile-post and project-name tables are not in the packet. Place of performance as WY-00 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,817,296,614.29 in a district treasury. Cheyenne-versus-Jackson folklore is not a geography split in this packet.

1,100 awards behind $1.82 billion

Mean obligation is about $1,652,087.83 if $1,817,296,614.29 were divided evenly across 1,100 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 one hundred 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 1,100 lines. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Wyoming At-Large District for the stored district table. Do not convert 1,100 into a map of Wyoming highway projects. The $1,817,296,614.29 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring a lane-mile census.

Wyoming At-Large, not a county-by-county highway map

Wyoming At-Large District (WY-00) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Wyoming At-Large (WY-00) is the state’s single House district tag. Awards tagged to CO, UT, MT, SD, NE, or ID districts are out. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $13,688,384,887.17 across every awarding agency; $1,817,296,614.29 is the Department of Transportation slice — about 13.3% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover agency list.

A statewide DOT figure on Wyoming federal spending shares the at-large geography but still mixes every agency unless you stay on this pair. Do not rank WY-00 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other Wyoming district cells are other joins. Wyoming federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Department of Transportation dollars to $1,817,296,614.29 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 asphalt already laid

DOT awards often obligate as FHWA, FTA, and FAA assistance rows and draw as states and airports spend. The $1,817,296,614.29 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of miles paved 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, WY-00 geography, and the obligation metric.

Department of Transportation is the nationwide agency book without a WY-00 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, 1,100 awards, agency 069, and Wyoming At-Large District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

What the WY-00 DOT table omits

The extract has no project names, mileposts, or contractor names. Facts remain $1,817,296,614.29, 1,100 awards, agency 069, Department of Transportation, Wyoming At-Large District (WY-00), and district parent $13,688,384,887.17. 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 1,100-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.

Where the DOT × WY-00 pair lives

Start with Wyoming At-Large District for the district rollup that contains this Department of Transportation cell. Department of Transportation is the nationwide agency listing. Wyoming federal spending gives Wyoming context without a WY-00 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. 1,100 awards totaling this cell remain an administrative file, not a lane-mile census. Keep both Department of Transportation and Wyoming At-Large District (WY-00) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,817,296,614.29 as cash already paid or as Wyoming’s entire transportation appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join.

Questions

How much DOT spending is obligated in Wyoming At-Large District?

USAspending.gov shows $1,817,296,614.29 in Department of Transportation (agency 069) obligations with Wyoming At-Large District (WY-00) as place of performance, across 1,100 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district’s full $13,688,384,887.17 parent. Other agencies sit outside this join unless they also carry 069.

Do 1,100 awards mean 1,100 Wyoming highway projects?

No. Award count is a row count of Department of Transportation actions tagged to WY-00. It is not a project, mile, or vendor census. Mean obligation of about $1,652,087.83 is a quotient of $1,817,296,614.29 and 1,100, not a cost per mile.

Does this DOT cell include Interior roads in Wyoming?

No. This page is awarding agency 069 only. Interior road lines are other joins. $1,817,296,614.29 is about 13.3% of the Wyoming At-Large District parent $13,688,384,887.17 by arithmetic. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.

Is the Wyoming DOT total already paid as construction?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $1,817,296,614.29 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Invoice draws and remaining balances are not published here.
