Formula grants, not capital investment grants

CFDA 20.507 is FEDERAL TRANSIT FORMULA GRANTS. Packet facts on the program side stop at the name Federal Transit Formula Grants, the number 20.507, $5,290,784,472.86, and 389 awards. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names. Mixing this listing with other catalog lines that use different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total the packet never computed. The join does not convert dollars into California transit agencies, riders, or routes.

Federal Transit Formula Grants is not transit capital investment grants under a different CFDA or a named California transit agency. This page is only CFDA 20.507 crossed with California. 389 award records can still sum to $5,290,784,472.86. A 20.507 award tagged to another state stays outside this California cell.

California geography on a transit cell
