National Railroad Passenger Corporation Grants federal funding in District of Columbia

Nineteen Amtrak-grant awards tagged to the District

CFDA 20.315 is National Railroad Passenger Corporation Grants. The geography key is the District of Columbia (DC). Their overlap is $38,722,161,153.58 and 19 records. A 20.315 award tagged to Maryland or Virginia is excluded. A DC award under a different CFDA is a different join. This page does not add those siblings to the Amtrak-grant cell.

Nineteen awards against $38,722,161,153.58 yields a mean of about $2,037,998,000 per record. That mean is not a typical ticket subsidy and not a typical station project. Large capital or operating-grant vehicles can dominate dollars on a short row list. This packet does not name those vehicles or their periods of performance.

The District did not “win” $38,722,161,153.58 merely by hosting a headquarters tag. Matching catalog number to DC is not causation. National Railroad Passenger Corporation Grants in District of Columbia is the live overlay.

What CFDA 20.315 is—and what a timetable is not

The official title is NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER CORPORATION GRANTS. SpendingVault does not grade Amtrak’s on-time performance or the Northeast Corridor. $38,722,161,153.58 is an obligation sum, not a ridership chart. CFDA 20.315 is the national hub without the DC filter. This packet has no national Amtrak-grant total, so none is compared to the District cell.

FRA grant reports and Amtrak’s own financial statements are other products. They are not the 19 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing a passenger count from those files with this join would invent a per-rider dollar figure the packet does not support.

The District’s federal book besides 20.315

District of Columbia federal spending covers every CFDA coded to DC. District of Columbia programs is the catalog directory. $38,722,161,153.58 is one cell. Quoting it as the District’s entire federal book would drop every other program that also uses a DC geography tag—common for national operators and agencies headquartered in the city.

Place-of-performance DC on an Amtrak grant can be a corporate or grant-administration address. It is not automatically Union Station, a yard, or a state of a route’s miles. This packet has no corridor split of the $38,722,161,153.58.

Obligations versus cash already drawn

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $38,722,161,153.58 is the commitment figure. This page does not convert the 19 awards into cash drawn on those grants.

District budget documents and WMATA or DDOT publications are different ledgers. They are not the source of this USAspending.gov cell. Keep the citation on CFDA aggregates by place of performance state.

How to cite the 20.315–DC join

Cite: National Railroad Passenger Corporation Grants (CFDA 20.315) obligated $38,722,161,153.58 on 19 awards coded to the District of Columbia, per USAspending.gov. Keep both keys. Keep “obligations.” Do not invent a fiscal year. All spending ties stores this pair with other program-by-state pages.

Later bulk files can move the dollars and the 19-award count. Prefer the overlay National Railroad Passenger Corporation Grants in District of Columbia when the live table and this snapshot diverge.

What 19 rows will not be asked to prove

This page will not treat 19 awards as 19 routes, 19 stations, or 19 states served. It will not compute a per-rider figure because the packet has no ridership count. It will not rank DC against other states on Amtrak grants. Peer totals are not in these facts.

A national passenger railroad’s headquarters or grant office in the District can pull large vehicles into this cell even when track work occurs elsewhere. That possibility is why place-of-performance is a coding field, not a map of ties and ballast. District of Columbia federal spending, District of Columbia programs, CFDA 20.315, and All spending ties are the parent hubs.

The mean of about $2.04 billion per record will mislead anyone who treats it as a typical station project. There is no project list here. There is $38,722,161,153.58 and 19 awards. That is the entire numeric claim. Keep both the program name and the District of Columbia in every citation sentence.

Treat this JSON as a packet snapshot. If a later ingest disagrees, the overlay wins. This page does not convert the join into a statement about Northeast Corridor policy, long-distance routes, or state matching grants—those topics are absent from the packet. Keep USAspending.gov as the cited source and keep the obligation label on every sentence that uses the total.

Questions

How much are Amtrak grants obligated in the District of Columbia?

USAspending.gov records $38,722,161,153.58 in CFDA 20.315 obligations across 19 awards coded to the District of Columbia. That is a program × geography join, not an outlay and not DC’s full federal total.

Can 19 awards hold $38.7 billion?

Award count is a row count. $38,722,161,153.58 ÷ 19 is about $2.04 billion per record as a mean. Large grant vehicles can dominate dollars. This packet does not list projects.

Does a DC tag mean the money was spent on DC track?

Not necessarily. Place-of-performance is a coding field. A headquarters or grant office in the District can carry a large share of the $38,722,161,153.58. This packet has no corridor split.

Where is the live overlay?

National Railroad Passenger Corporation Grants in District of Columbia is the overlay. See District of Columbia federal spending, District of Columbia programs, CFDA 20.315, and All spending ties. Later ingests override this snapshot.
