Highway Planning and Construction funding in Pennsylvania
Highway Planning and Construction (CFDA 20.205) obligations tagged to Pennsylvania total $7,943,902,193.34 on USAspending.gov across 3,425 awards. Pennsylvania’s SSDI and survivors cells are thicker in dollars; this highway cell is thicker in project-style actions. The join is FHWA 20.205 plus a PA place-of-performance tag, not a list of turnpike projects and not a bridge-condition ranking. Three thousand four hundred twenty-five Federal-aid actions are Pennsylvania’s 20.205 grain, smaller in rows than Florida’s highway file and still in the billions.

Federal-aid actions on a Pennsylvania tag
Keep USAspending rows labeled HIGHWAY PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION whose geography is Pennsylvania (PA). Three thousand four hundred twenty-five awards remain. They sum to $7,943,902,193.34. CFDA 20.205 funds planning and construction through the state transportation department and local sponsors. The extract counts award actions, including modifications, not unique bridges.
The implied mean is about $2,319,400 per award — in the same neighborhood as Florida’s 20.205 implied mean, on a smaller dollar total and a smaller row count. That resemblance is file texture, not a finding that the two states build similar roads.
Pennsylvania federal spending is every CFDA on PA. CFDA 20.205 is the national highway file. Highway Planning And Construction in Pennsylvania is the overlap. Pennsylvania programs and All spending ties are the indexes.
PennDOT districts, MPOs, and local sponsors can all generate 20.205 actions. None is named in the facts. $7,943,902,193.34 is the statewide obligation sum.
Pennsylvania SSDI and survivors cells in this slice are thicker in dollars. Highway 20.205 is thicker in project-style rows. Different Catalogs, different grains.
Turnpike, PennDOT, and what 20.205 omits
Toll revenue, state motor-license funds, and transit Catalog numbers are not inside $7,943,902,193.34. A complete Pennsylvania transportation story would need those sources separately. This join stays on Federal-aid highway planning and construction.
Place-of-performance can follow PennDOT, a district, or a project location. Work that crosses into Ohio, New Jersey, or New York can still carry a PA tag on a Pennsylvania-let award. The 3,425-row file is not a GIS layer.
Airport and passenger-rail programs use other CFDA numbers. Do not fold them into this cell.
Bridge replacement, pavement, and planning studies can share 20.205. This packet does not split $7,943,902,193.34 by work type.
Obligations versus construction completed
Highway awards obligate before, during, and sometimes after letting. Quote $7,943,902,193.34 as USAspending obligations, not as asphalt placed or as outlays to contractors.
No fiscal year is in the facts. Do not attach a construction season. Cite USAspending.gov CFDA aggregates by place of performance state.
A multi-year construction package obligates before the last ton of asphalt. Quote obligations, not completion.
Statewide PA, not an I-81-versus-I-95 split
This packet does not split 3,425 awards or $7,943,902,193.34 by district or metro. A Philadelphia story and a northern-tier story would need project-level geography. The extract stays statewide.
Do not rank Pennsylvania’s roads from this cell. Condition and fatality series are unpublished. Correlation with Pennsylvania SSDI or SNAP cells is not causation.
I-80, I-81, and I-95 corridors share PA. Corridor stories need project pins.
