Nationally Significant Freight And Highway Projects (CFDA 20.934) in Minnesota

Two awards hold the Minnesota–20.934 total

CFDA 20.934 is titled Nationally Significant Freight And Highway Projects. Minnesota is the place-of-performance state. $1,058,398,200 is the obligation sum on records that carry both keys. With only two awards, each row is large. The packet does not name the projects, the corridors, or the recipients. A two-row file is still a join: program plus state. It is not a statewide paving budget and not Minnesota’s Department of Transportation appropriation.

The Minnesota hub totals every CFDA. The national 20.934 hub totals every state. This tie is the overlap. Federal Transit Formula Grants and other 20-series transportation codes are separate cells. Mixing them into $1,058,398,200 would misstate the freight-and-highway catalog line.

What the freight-and-highway catalog number is

The CFDA title describes nationally significant freight and highway projects, a discretionary-style assistance category distinct from formula transit (20.507) and from routine federal-aid highway reimbursements that may use other codes. Packet facts are the obligation total, 2 awards, state MN, and CFDA 20.934. No mile-of-road table and no fiscal-year split appear in the facts.

Place of performance tagged Minnesota can cover a corridor segment, a terminal, or a statewide stamp. The geography key does not publish a map of bottlenecks. Awards coded to Wisconsin, Iowa, or North Dakota stay on other ties even if freight moves across those borders.

Minnesota as the geography key

Minnesota is USAspending state code MN. A recipient headquartered elsewhere can still show MN if performance is coded there. $1,058,398,200 is not every federal transportation dollar in Minnesota and is not a Twin Cities versus Greater Minnesota split. The packet has no metro table.

Statewide Minnesota federal spending is the parent. CFDA 20.934 is one program inside that parent. Readers who want transit, aviation, or rail-insurance lines should leave this join.

Why $529,199,100 is the mean

The average is $529,199,100 because $1,058,398,200 ÷ 2 is exact. With two rows, the mean is close to a typical row only if the two awards are similar in size. The packet does not say whether they are equal. Do not read the mean as the cost of one interchange.

Net obligations can include downward modifications. This page reports $1,058,398,200 as given. Obligations are commitments on the award file, not outlays already paid to contractors.

What this Minnesota freight pair is not

A shared state tag does not mean Minnesota selected these awards, and it does not mean outlays equal $1,058,398,200. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Two large awards do not rank Minnesota’s highways against other states. Correlation is not causation.

Two overlay rows and what they cannot show

Nationally Significant Freight And Highway Projects in Minnesota is the overlay for CFDA 20.934 inside state MN. Two awards summing to $1,058,398,200 will occupy almost no vertical space on a table, yet they hold the entire cell. Readers should not assume the two instruments are equal in size unless the overlay lists identical amounts. The packet does not split $1,058,398,200 between the two rows. Project names, mileposts, and letting dates are outside the facts.

Minnesota programs lists every CFDA, including Federal Transit Formula Grants if they appear for the state under 20.507. That formula line is a different catalog number from 20.934. Connecticut’s 20.507 join in this harvest is not Minnesota’s freight cell. The national 20.934 hub drops the Minnesota filter. This join does not convert two large obligations into a claim that Minnesota’s freight network is more significant than another state’s, and it does not treat $1,058,398,200 as cash already paid to contractors.

Questions

How much INFRA-style freight highway funding is obligated in Minnesota?

Why are there only two awards?

The aggregate contains 2 award records summing to $1,058,398,200. The packet does not name the projects. A two-row file can sit next to very large capital instruments.

What is the average CFDA 20.934 award in Minnesota?

Is this all DOT spending in Minnesota?

No. Only CFDA 20.934 is in this cell. Transit formula grants and other transportation programs appear on other Minnesota program ties.
