Formula grants, not capital-investment grants

Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants (CFDA 20.500) are a different FTA catalog. Mixing 20.507 and 20.500 in Utah would invent a combined formula-and-capital book. Mixing those series into $151,793,570 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Utah, CFDA 20.507, $151,793,570, 16 awards. Agency names, ridership figures, and project lists are unpublished.

The catalog title names Federal Transit Formula Grants, not a ranking of Utah transit agencies. Dividing $151,793,570 by 16 yields about $9.49 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 16 is not an agency, route, or named-project census.

Utah geography on the transit-formula tag

UT is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Salt Lake City, Provo, or Ogden can share the tag. Awards coded to Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada stay outside $151,793,570 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $151.8 million into a rail atlas.

Utah federal spending is the all-program parent. 20.507 is one row on Utah programs. $151.8 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Federal Transit Formula Grants in Utah for the filtered table, CFDA 20.507 for the catalog without a Utah filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $151,793,570.

Sixteen awards and a low-eight-figure mean

$151,793,570 ÷ 16 is about $9.49 million per award. That average is a low-eight-figure mean on sixteen rows, not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 16 as a record count, not as 16 unique agencies or 16 named projects.

Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 16 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $151,793,570 without changing the join key of 20.507 and UT. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $151,793,570 is the net total supplied in the facts. The pair remains Federal Transit Formula Grants plus Utah. Do not treat $151,793,570 as an outlay series.

What Utah transit formula funding does not prove

A large 20.507 total tagged to Utah does not measure whether Utah ridership rose, and it does not equal buses already purchased. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $151,793,570 on 16 awards for Federal Transit Formula Grants in Utah.

Do not treat 16 as an agency, route, or named-project census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a commuter-rail narrative.
