USAspending coding for Rural/Tribal Transit Formula in FY2026
SpendingVault indexes Formula Grants For Rural Areas And Tribal Transit Program overlapping FY2026 from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is FORMULA GRANTS FOR RURAL AREAS AND TRIBAL TRANSIT PROGRAM. The year on the other side is federal fiscal year 2026. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or an awarding-agency code — this packet publishes no awarding agency and no named recipients. Cite $695,444,522.32 as obligations on the Rural/Tribal Transit Formula–FY2026 pair.
Read /programs/20.509/ (CFDA 20.509) for the program rollup, /fiscal-years/2026/ (FY2026 federal spending) for the year rollup, /programs/ (All programs) for every CFDA hub, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Do not add those pages into $695,444,522.32. Recipients are unpublished. One hundred fifty-one FY2026 award records is a compact formula-transit file, not 151 unique operators. Repeat awards add rows.
CFDA 20.509 as the Rural/Tribal Transit Formula side
Open CFDA 20.509 at /programs/20.509/ for the program hub. That page is not this join: it can include other fiscal years if the extract lists them, and it is still obligations rather than outlays. This ties page stays on CFDA 20.509 in FY2026 only. Do not invent rural operators, tribal governments, or route names for CFDA 20.509 in FY2026.
The program extract-wide obligation total is $3,655,333,859.48 across 723 award records. FY2026 is 19.0% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for CFDA 20.509 are separate cells. Do not fold /programs/ into this join as if every CFDA were this one. Keep 20.509.
FY2026 as the rural-and-tribal transit yearlyTrend cell
The year hub /fiscal-years/2026/ (FY2026 federal spending) rolls up every program that year in the index, not only Formula Grants For Rural Areas And Tribal Transit Program. Reading $695,444,522.32 as all FY2026 federal obligations would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one fiscal year, not a Budget Appendix score. Do not add Federal Election Commission contribution totals to $695,444,522.32.
151 FY2026 awards are not 151 rural transit systems
Treat 151 as award records on the FY2026 cell, not unique vendors and not a rural-system census, a tribal-transit roster, or a named-operator file. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. FEC contribution tables do not fund these awards. Rural operators, tribal governments, and route names are unpublished on this packet.
