Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) federal funding in FY2026

CFDA 20.272 tagged to FY2026

Program 20.272 and fiscal year 2026 meet here: 1,487 records summing to $978,284,344.78. Because program totals match year totals, this join is the entire published CFDA 20.272 extract in the packet, still labeled as a FY2026 slice. An HSIP award under a different highway CFDA is out even if the crash countermeasure sounds related. This packet does not name corridors, states, or contractors. Unique recipients are unpublished.

CFDA 20.272 is numerically identical to this year cell in the current facts. FY2026 federal spending remains larger because it includes other programs. All programs and All spending ties keep sibling codes and other pairs in view. Do not add the year hub into $978,284,344.78.

A high-count file of smaller highway actions

Dividing $978,284,344.78 by 1,487 yields about $657,891.29. HSIP often posts many project-level or modification rows rather than one mega-grant per state. 1,487 is not 1,487 fatal-crash sites and not 1,487 unique builders. Do not invent contractor names.

Matching year and program counts is a packet identity. A later ingest can add other fiscal years. Correlation is not causation: a high award count does not prove roads got safer or less safe.

Not a fatality dashboard

$978,284,344.78 does not measure fatalities, serious injuries, or miles of rumble strips. Those series are unpublished here. The cell sums obligations with CFDA 20.272 and a FY2026 tag. Catalog title text is the heading, not a safety outcome. This page does not split the total by state or highway.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $978,284,344.78 is the former. Highway projects often obligate in one year and construct later. Citing the figure as cash already spent on safety improvements over-reads the field. This packet has no outlay total.

Keep both keys even when the numbers match the program book. The year tag is still FY2026; the CFDA is still 20.272.

How to cite HSIP in FY2026

A usable footnote names Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) (CFDA 20.272), fiscal year 2026, $978,284,344.78 in obligations, and 1,487 awards on USAspending.gov, and may note that those figures currently match the program extract. Keep the obligation word. The compact $978 million is that cell rounded.

Prefer CFDA 20.272 if the program table moved. FY2026 federal spending still includes every other CFDA tagged to that year. All programs and All spending ties keep sibling codes and other pairs in view. A later ingest can add other years without changing this join’s definition.

High-count highway rows when year equals program

In this packet $978,284,344.78 and 1,487 awards describe both FY2026 and the entire published CFDA 20.272 extract. That identity is an ingest fact, not proof that HSIP never posted in other years. One thousand four hundred eighty-seven records with an implied mean near $657,891.29 is a project-level texture: many smaller actions rather than one mega-grant per state. 1,487 is not 1,487 fatal-crash sites and not 1,487 builders. This packet does not name corridors, states, or contractors. Fatalities, serious injuries, and rumble-strip miles are unpublished. A high award count does not prove roads got safer.

Keep both keys even when the numbers match the program hub. Cite CFDA 20.272 × FY2026, obligations not outlays. Highway construction often obligates in one year and builds later. CFDA 20.272, FY2026 federal spending, All programs, and All spending ties are the four hrefs. The year hub includes unrelated CFDAs. Unique recipients stay unpublished. A later ingest can add other fiscal years without changing this join’s definition: Highway Safety Improvement Program crossed with fiscal year 2026.

Safety-improvement folklore does not add fatality tables. $978,284,344.78 on 1,487 records currently matches the CFDA 20.272 program extract in this ingest. Crash sites and contractor names stay unpublished. CFDA 20.272, FY2026 federal spending, All programs, and All spending ties are hubs. A later ingest can add other years without changing the pair.

Questions

How much did HSIP obligate in FY2026?

USAspending.gov records $978,284,344.78 across 1,487 awards for CFDA 20.272 in fiscal year 2026. In this packet those figures also equal the program-wide extract. That is an obligation join, not an outlay, and not a count of crash sites. Keep both the CFDA and the year when quoting the cell.

Does that mean HSIP only exists in FY2026?

It means the published extract in this packet shows $978,284,344.78 and 1,487 awards for both the year cell and the program totals. Other years are not in these facts. A later ingest can add rows. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Does 1,487 awards mean 1,487 projects?

1,487 is the award-record count, which can include modifications. Combined with $978,284,344.78, the average is about $657,891.29. Unique recipients are unpublished. This packet does not name corridors or contractors. Keep both sides of the join when quoting the cell. USAspending.gov remains the source.

Where is the live table?

CFDA 20.272 is the program hub. FY2026 federal spending is the year hub. All programs lists other assistance codes. All spending ties lists other joins. Keep both sides when citing $978,284,344.78. Obligations are not outlays. Keep both sides of the join when quoting the cell. USAspending.gov remains the source.
