The national Formula Grants For Rural Areas And Tribal Transit Program hub includes every other state. Wyoming's spending hub includes every program.

Formula transit assistance often posts as a modest number of state or tribal instruments rather than one row per vehicle. The join does not name recipients, split rural counties from tribal operators, or count ridership. Packet facts stop at $53,325,487.78, 10 awards, WY, and 20.509. Correlation is not causation.

No fiscal year appears in the packet. Do not treat $53,325,487.78 as a single FTA apportionment year or as money already drawn. Do not invent contractors, transit agencies, or award recipients.

20.509 is not urbanized-area formula transit in Wyoming

Urbanized Area Formula Grants and other FTA capital catalogs sit on different CFDA numbers. Mixing those dollars into $53,325,487.78 would invent a broader total than this 20.509 × WY cell contains. Facts available: Wyoming, CFDA 20.509, $53,325,487.78, 10 awards. The program name on the packet is Formula Grants For Rural Areas And Tribal Transit Program.

Dividing $53,325,487.78 by 10 yields about $5.33 million per award. That average is an implied mean of recorded instruments, not a typical vehicle cost and not a median. Unique recipients are unpublished. Ten is not a count of Wyoming transit agencies, tribes, or counties.

Wyoming geography on the 20.509 tag

WY is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Cheyenne, Casper, or another Wyoming locality can share the tag. Awards coded to Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, or Nebraska stay outside $53,325,487.78 even when a route or reservation crosses a border. The code does not convert $53.3 million into a service-area map, and this page does not name tribes or operators.

Wyoming federal spending is the all-program parent. 20.509 is one row on Wyoming programs. $53,325,487.78 is not the state's complete federal footprint.

Reading 10 awards under $53.3 million

$53,325,487.78 ÷ 10 is about $5.33 million per award. That average is not a median and is not a cost per bus. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 10 as a record count in an aggregate, not as 10 finished fleets.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $53,325,487.78 is the net total supplied in the facts. Later ingests can restate that figure without changing the join key of 20.509 and WY.

What the 20.509–Wyoming pair does not prove

A rural and tribal transit total tagged to Wyoming does not measure ridership, coverage, or on-time performance, and it does not equal cash disbursed. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $53,325,487.78 on 10 awards for Formula Grants For Rural Areas And Tribal Transit Program in Wyoming.

Keep both sides of the join: Formula Grants For Rural Areas And Tribal Transit Program and Wyoming, obligations only. Do not annualize $53,325,487.78 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 10 as an operator census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a service-plan story.
