Highway Planning and Construction obligations in Ohio

What the 20.205–Ohio join is

CFDA 20.205 is titled HIGHWAY PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION. Crossed with Ohio place of performance, obligations sum to $5,762,645,895.82 on 5,006 awards. The national 20.205 hub includes other states. Ohio’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $5,762,645,895.82 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of projects in Columbus, Cleveland, or Cincinnati.

5,006 awards is a denser transportation book than New York’s 20.205 cell at a similar dollar scale, which means a lower mean per record. That is a reporting pattern, not a ranking of states. The join does not name ODOT, list letting packages, or count miles. Packet facts stop at $5,762,645,895.82, 5,006 awards, OH, and 20.205.

20.205 is not transit capital or airport grants

Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants and airport improvement catalogs are different DOT lines. Mixing those dollars into $5,762,645,895.82 would invent a broader transportation total than this cell contains. Facts available: Ohio, CFDA 20.205, $5,762,645,895.82, 5,006 awards. Letting dates and pavement-condition scores are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Highway Planning And Construction, not a ranking of congestion. Dividing $5,762,645,895.82 by 5,006 yields about $1,151,148 per award—a record-level ratio, not a typical contract bid. Unique recipients are unpublished. 5,006 is not a count of bridges.

Ohio geography on the highway tag

OH is the place-of-performance code. A 20.205 award can still appear as records tagged to Columbus, Cleveland, or another in-state address. Awards coded to Indiana, Kentucky, or Pennsylvania stay outside $5,762,645,895.82 even when a corridor crosses a state line. The code does not convert $5.76 billion into a project map.

Ohio federal spending is the all-program parent. 20.205 is one row on Ohio programs. $5.76 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Highway Planning And Construction in Ohio for the filtered table, CFDA 20.205 for 20.205 without an Ohio filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $5,762,645,895.82.

Reading 5,006 awards under $5.76 billion

$5,762,645,895.82 ÷ 5,006 is about $1,151,148 per award. That average is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical bid tab and not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 5,006 as a record count, not as 5,006 finished highways.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $5,762,645,895.82 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 5,006 rows are continuations, corrections, or STIP-year instruments. Later ingests can restate $5,762,645,895.82 without changing the join key of 20.205 and OH.

What the highway–Ohio pair does not prove

A large 20.205 total tagged to Ohio does not measure whether pavement improved, and it does not equal miles built. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $5,762,645,895.82 on 5,006 awards for Highway Planning And Construction in Ohio.

Keep both sides of the join: Highway Planning And Construction and Ohio, obligations only. Do not annualize $5,762,645,895.82 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 5,006 as a project census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a congestion story.

Using the 20.205–Ohio overlay

The overlay target is the Ohio × CFDA 20.205 table. Open Highway Planning And Construction in Ohio when you want the same $5,762,645,895.82 / 5,006-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 20.205 drops the Ohio filter. Ohio federal spending drops the CFDA filter. Ohio programs lists other catalogs beside 20.205. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that Ohio won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 20.205 plus OH. Obligations of $5,762,645,895.82 are not outlays.
