Federal Transit Formula Grants federal funding in Hawaii

FTA CFDA 20.507 joined to Hawaii

CFDA 20.507 is titled Federal Transit Formula Grants. Filtered to Hawaii place of performance, obligations sum to $289,595,803 on 8 awards. The national CFDA 20.507 hub includes every state. Hawaii federal spending includes every program. This tie is the overlap — the pair, not a causal story. Federal Transit Formula Grants often concentrate in a short list of urbanized-area or statewide transit awards. The packet does not name agencies or routes.

Eight awards is a short row list for this dollar total. The count is an award-record tally, not a count of households, students, or clinics. Readers sometimes treat a large CFDA–state total as if it were a budget line the state legislature passed. $289,595,803 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation sum on awards tagged 20.507 and HI. Correlation is not causation. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards.

Transit formula grants are not NHPP highways

National Highway Performance Program, rural transit, and other DOT catalogs use different CFDA numbers. Highway dollars do not belong in this transit cell. Packet facts are Hawaii, CFDA 20.507, $289,595,803, and 8 awards. Formula shares, recipient lists, and outcome scores are not in the facts. The catalog title names Federal Transit Formula Grants, not highway NHPP dollars or a farebox recovery score.

The only numeric facts on this packet are $289,595,803, 8 awards, CFDA 20.507, program title Federal Transit Formula Grants, and geography HI/Hawaii. Any other dollar, year, recipient, or percentage would be invented. Trivial arithmetic is allowed: 8 awards into $289,595,803 is about $36.20 million per award. That quotient is a mean of records, not a typical household, student, patient, or transit formula grants unit.

Hawaii islands share one state performance tag

Hawaii’s place-of-performance tag can cover awards that span islands. Honolulu is not a column in this extract. Neighbor-island work still sits inside the HI tag when the award file uses that state code; awards coded elsewhere stay out. Place of performance HI is a two-letter code in the award file. It does not prove where every subcontract ran, and it does not convert $289,595,803 into a county map. Awards with a different state code are outside this cell even if people, patients, or riders cross the border.

Hawaii federal spending is the all-program parent. CFDA 20.507 is the national program page without the Hawaii filter. Hawaii programs lists other catalogs beside Federal Transit Formula Grants. $289,595,803 is not Hawaii’s complete federal footprint.

Eight awards against the formula total

$289,595,803 ÷ 8 is about $36.20 million per award. That average is a ratio of two packet facts, not a median and not a posted unit price. With n = 8, a few large instruments can dominate, or many small actions can stack. Treat eight as a record count in an aggregate, not as eight finished projects. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $289,595,803 is the net total supplied in the facts.

Without a transaction register on this page, you cannot see how many of the 8 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Unique recipients are unpublished. Route maps and ridership are other series. Neighbor-island versus Oahu splits are not published on this packet.

Ridership stories the packet does not tell

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $289,595,803 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as cash already cleared in Hawaii over-reads the field. Keep the obligation word when you quote Federal Transit Formula Grants in Hawaii. FEC filings do not pay USAspending cells. The join cannot say that Hawaii specialized in transit formula grants because of federal demand, or the reverse.
