Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants awarded by Department of Transportation

Transit capital grants × DOT is CFDA 20.500

This page is a join: Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants (CFDA 20.500) and the Department of Transportation (agency 069). $13,182,398,235.75 is the obligation sum on that pair. It is not the government-wide assistance total, not every CFDA on All programs, and not cash already paid. Correlation is not causation: a large pair cell does not prove the Department of Transportation caused activity described by the program title, or the reverse. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; FEC donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.

CFDA 20.500 is the program parent without an awarding-agency filter. Department of Transportation is the agency parent without this CFDA filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. A Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants award tagged to a different awarding agency sits outside this cell even if the CFDA is still 20.500. A Department of Transportation award on a different CFDA sits outside even if the topic sounds related. One hundred eighty-seven awards is not 187 unique transit agencies or 187 unique rail projects. Full-funding grant agreements and amendments add rows.

Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants as the program side

CFDA 20.500 is Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants. Confusing this join with State of Good Repair, Airport Improvement, or a highway formula listing would be a different table. Packet facts on the program side are the name Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants, number 20.500, and program-wide obligations $13,182,398,235.75. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names. Any other vendor, school, tribe, carrier, or grantee list would be invented.

Department of Transportation as the awarding-agency side

Awarding-agency code 069 is the Department of Transportation. It is not a bureau split inside that department, not a place-of-performance state, and not a NAICS industry. In this extract the pair cell $13,182,398,235.75 matches the program-wide obligation total $13,182,398,235.75. Do not treat the program-wide $13,182,398,235.75 as if it were automatically the pair headline when the two figures differ. When they match, equality still does not name recipients.

Department of Transportation shows how Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants sits beside other CFDAs the Department of Transportation awards.

Project names, transit-agency names, and ridership are unpublished on this packet.

187 awards behind the CIG–DOT cell

The extract lists 187 awards on the Transit Capital Grants × DOT pair. A compact capital-investment file: 187 awards against a large obligation total. Dividing $13,182,398,235.75 by 187 yields about $70.49 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. 187 is not a ridership series, a New Starts project list, or a transit-agency roster.

187 is the pair’s award-record count in this extract, not a published recipient census. Unique vendors and places of performance are unpublished. Do not read 187 as 187 finished projects under Transit Capital Grants.

CIG obligations are not construction already invoiced

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $13,182,398,235.75 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared over-reads the field. The join cannot say that the Department of Transportation specialized in transit capital grants because of federal demand. Keep $13,182,398,235.75 labeled as Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants obligations awarded by the Department of Transportation. It is not a ridership series, a New Starts project list, or a transit-agency roster. The packet publishes no fiscal year, so this page does not invent one.
