Federal Transit Formula Grants funding in Rhode Island

Rhode Island x 20.507 is a transit-formula join, not a rider census

This page pairs CFDA 20.507, FEDERAL TRANSIT FORMULA GRANTS, with Rhode Island place of performance. The join is an FTA urbanized-area formula listing crossed with a state location field, not Rhode Island’s entire transportation budget and not a census of riders. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $149,692,433 on 9 awards. The extract does not list agencies, riders, or vehicle counts. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more need, and not a claim that 9 awards equal 9 agencies or 9 bus routes.

Other DOT listings — INFRA 20.934, rural transit, or different 20.xxx titles — sit outside this total unless they also carry 20.507. Mixing those listings into $149,692,433 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and ridership is not causation. NTD ridership figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Rhode Island locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $149,692,433 in the state treasury. Providence-versus-statewide folklore is not an agency split in this packet. SNAP admin matching 10.561 in Rhode Island is a USDA overlay.

9 awards behind $149.7 million

Mean obligation is about $16,632,492.56 if $149,692,433 were divided evenly across 9 lines. That ratio is not a published grant size and not a cost per rider. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of agencies, buses, or riders.

Nine lines are scannable on the overlay. Formula transit awards often post as few large rows to a designated recipient. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Federal Transit Formula Grants in Rhode Island for the stored table. Do not convert 9 into a map of Rhode Island bus routes. The $149,692,433 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a rider census.

Transit obligations are not bus-miles already operated

Formula transit awards often obligate as annual grants and draw as capital and operating projects proceed. The $149,692,433 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of trips delivered and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A FTA formula apportionment table dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses CFDA 20.507, Rhode Island geography, and the obligation metric.

The listing title is Federal Transit Formula Grants. This extract does not split capital from operating, and it does not split bus from rail. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 9 awards, CFDA 20.507, and Rhode Island. This page will not invent a share. AIP 20.106 is a different DOT CFDA even when airports and transit share a transportation subject.

What the Rhode Island 20.507 table omits

The extract has no agencies, riders, or vehicle counts. Facts remain $149,692,433, 9 awards, CFDA 20.507, and Rhode Island. This page will not invent a ranking against other states’ 20.507 joins. INFRA 20.934 in Rhode Island on this slice is a discretionary highway/freight listing, not a transit-formula subset.

Rhode Island federal spending and Rhode Island programs place 20.507 among other listings. CFDA 20.507 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA x state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of federal spending the packet never computed. The $149,692,433 figure is the tagged pair only. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Where the 20.507 x Rhode Island overlay lives

Start with Federal Transit Formula Grants in Rhode Island for the 9-award table behind $149,692,433. CFDA 20.507 is the nationwide listing. Rhode Island federal spending and Rhode Island programs give state context. All spending ties is the shelf for other program-by-state joins on the same obligation metric. Nine awards totaling $149,692,433 remain a formula-grant file, not a rider census. Agency names and ridership counts are not in this packet. The $149,692,433 total is the tagged pair only. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. If a later extract revises the rollup, this page’s facts will be stale until the packet is rebuilt. Do not annualize $149,692,433: no fiscal year is in the facts.

How to read the Rhode Island × CFDA 20.507 pair

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is the assistance listing (CFDA 20.507). The other is place of performance as Rhode Island. The headline $149,692,433 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that CFDA 20.507 caused Rhode Island’s economy to grow. Correlation between geography and a catalog code is the join — nothing more. Use the internal links to step off this pair. If you need award-level names, open the overlay rather than treating this narrative as a recipient directory.

USAspending.gov shows $149,692,433 in obligations for CFDA 20.507 with Rhode Island as place of performance, across 9 awards.

Do 9 awards mean 9 Rhode Island transit agencies?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. Formula transit often posts as few large rows to a designated recipient. It is not an agency or rider census. See the Rhode Island 20.507 overlay for named lines.

Does this include Rhode Island INFRA freight projects?
