Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects in Rhode Island

Rhode Island x 20.934 is an INFRA join, not a mile census

This page pairs CFDA 20.934, NATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT FREIGHT AND HIGHWAY PROJECTS, with Rhode Island place of performance. The join is a DOT nationally significant freight and highway (INFRA) listing crossed with a state location field, not Rhode Island’s entire highway budget and not a census of miles. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $163,503,600 on 2 awards. The extract does not list corridors, miles, or project names. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more need, and not a claim that 2 awards equal 2 corridors or 2 construction contracts.

Other DOT listings — formula highways, transit 20.507, or AIP 20.106 — sit outside this total unless they also carry 20.934. Mixing those listings into $163,503,600 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and port tonnage is not causation. Freight tonnage figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Rhode Island locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $163,503,600 in the state treasury. Providence-versus-port folklore is not a corridor split in this packet. Two awards beside a nine-figure total is a short list of large rows, not proof that only two contractors exist.

2 awards behind $163.5 million

Mean obligation is about $81,751,800 if $163,503,600 were divided evenly across 2 lines. That ratio is not a published project cost and not a cost per mile. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of projects, miles, or contractors.

Two lines are a compact discretionary file. Large INFRA awards often post as few rows. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Nationally Significant Freight And Highway Projects in Rhode Island for the stored table. Do not convert 2 into a map of Rhode Island freight corridors. The $163,503,600 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a mile census.

INFRA obligations are not lane-miles already opened

INFRA awards often obligate as discretionary grants and draw as construction proceeds. The $163,503,600 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of miles opened and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A DOT INFRA award announcement dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses CFDA 20.934, Rhode Island geography, and the obligation metric.

The listing title is Nationally Significant Freight And Highway Projects. This extract does not split highway from freight-rail or port access, and it does not split design from construction. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 2 awards, CFDA 20.934, and Rhode Island. This page will not invent a share. Drinking Water SRF 66.468 in Rhode Island is an EPA overlay.

What the Rhode Island 20.934 table omits

The extract has no corridors, miles, or project names. Facts remain $163,503,600, 2 awards, CFDA 20.934, and Rhode Island. This page will not invent a ranking against other states’ 20.934 joins. Transit formula 20.507 in Rhode Island is a different DOT listing; do not merge the two as a homemade ‘all transportation’ figure.

Rhode Island federal spending and Rhode Island programs place 20.934 among other listings. CFDA 20.934 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA x state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of federal spending the packet never computed. The $163,503,600 figure is the tagged pair only. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Where the 20.934 x Rhode Island overlay lives

Start with Nationally Significant Freight And Highway Projects in Rhode Island for the 2-award table behind $163,503,600. CFDA 20.934 is the nationwide listing. Rhode Island federal spending and Rhode Island programs give state context. All spending ties is the shelf for other program-by-state joins on the same obligation metric. Two awards totaling $163,503,600 remain a discretionary-project file, not a mile census. Project names and lane-miles are not in this packet. The $163,503,600 total is the tagged pair only. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. If a later extract revises the rollup, this page’s facts will be stale until the packet is rebuilt. Do not annualize $163,503,600: no fiscal year is in the facts.

How to read the Rhode Island × CFDA 20.934 pair

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is the assistance listing (CFDA 20.934). The other is place of performance as Rhode Island. The headline $163,503,600 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that CFDA 20.934 caused Rhode Island’s economy to grow. Correlation between geography and a catalog code is the join — nothing more. Use the internal links to step off this pair. If you need award-level names, open the overlay rather than treating this narrative as a recipient directory.

Questions

How much INFRA freight and highway funding is obligated in Rhode Island?

USAspending.gov shows $163,503,600 in obligations for CFDA 20.934 with Rhode Island as place of performance, across 2 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Rhode Island’s full transportation budget. Other listings are outside this join unless they also carry 20.934.

Do 2 awards mean 2 Rhode Island highway projects?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. INFRA often posts as few large rows. It is not a project or mile census. See the Rhode Island 20.934 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Does this include Rhode Island transit formula grants?

No. Transit formula grants are CFDA 20.507 on a separate Rhode Island join. This page is CFDA 20.934 only. Those transit dollars are not inside $163,503,600 unless the award also carries 20.934. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Is $164 million already spent building Rhode Island freight projects?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $163,503,600 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Construction completions and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
