Special Needs Transportation federal obligations in FY2026
USAspending.gov records $111,085,243.06 in Special Needs Transportation (NAICS 485991) obligations for fiscal year 2026. About fourteen percent of this special-needs-transport extract sits on FY2026. Six hundred forty industry-extract awards against a 780-million-dollar parent is a compact transit-services file, not a rider census. That pair is Special Needs Transportation (NAICS 485991) and federal fiscal year 2026 — not every federal dollar in FY2026, not Special Needs Transportation's $779,717,103.99 extract-wide book, and not cash already paid. The cell is 14.2% of this industry's published obligation total. 640 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2026-only instrument tally. USAspending.gov is the source. Correlation is not causation.

The two-key cell: special needs transportation in FY2026
NAICS 485991 and fiscal year 2026 meet here. $111,085,243.06 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Special Needs Transportation's nationwide all-year total of $779,717,103.99, not every federal dollar coded to FY2026, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split vehicle types or trip purposes, or contract from assistance. 640 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a rider census, a named-carrier roster, or a trip-count log.
Open /industries/485991/ (NAICS 485991) for the industry table without this FY2026 filter, /fiscal-years/2026/ (FY2026 federal spending) for the year table without this NAICS filter, /industries/ (All industries) for every industry, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $111,085,243.06. Special-needs transportation is not chartered freight air (481212). Keep 485991 on FY2026.
This page reports special needs transportation activity USAspending tagged to FY2026. The headline $111,085,243.06 sits beside an industry-wide obligation total of $779,717,103.99; the 14.2% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of fiscal years as winners or losers. Obligations are not outlays. Rider counts and vehicle types are unpublished. Obligations are not outlays.
Special Needs Transportation is the industry key, not a program name
USAspending labels NAICS 485991 as Special Needs Transportation. That code produced $111,085,243.06 when crossed with fiscal year 2026. The industry-wide 485991 hub does not require a FY2026 filter. The year hub does not require Special Needs Transportation. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split vehicle types or trip purposes, or contract from assistance. Trip-purpose folklore is not a packet fact. This page names no carriers.
Keeping 640 off the yearlyTrend clock
640 is the Special Needs Transportation award-record count published with the industry extract, not a count of FY2026 instruments. Dividing $111,085,243.06 by 640 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding vendors. 640 industry-extract awards describe 485991 across years, not a FY2026 trip count. FY2026 figures can be incomplete for the current year, so even the dollar cell may still move.
Deobligations can still move the cell
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $111,085,243.06 is that kind of sum for Special Needs Transportation in FY2026. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same NAICS rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $111,085,243.06 as given.
Treat 640 as award records on the industry extract, not unique vendors and not a FY2026 headcount. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. FEC contribution tables do not fund these awards. Rider counts and vehicle types are unpublished. Obligations are not outlays.
/ties/ is an index, not an addend
Cite USAspending.gov: Special Needs Transportation (NAICS 485991) obligated $111,085,243.06 in FY2026. Name Special Needs Transportation and FY2026 together. Keep the obligation word. If /industries/485991/ or /fiscal-years/2026/ has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a rider census, a named-carrier roster, or a trip-count log. 14.2% of $779,717,103.99 is the industry share on this packet, not a budget score. /industries/ lists other industries; /ties/ indexes other pairs.
Where Special Needs Transportation in FY2026 stops
640 industry-extract awards describe 485991 across years, not a FY2026 trip count. Special-needs transportation is not chartered freight air (481212). Keep 485991 on FY2026. A reader who quotes 640 as unique companies in FY2026 has left the packet. A reader who treats 14.2% as a hardship or success ranking has added a score the table does not carry. Prefer /industries/485991/ and /fiscal-years/2026/ if the live tables moved. Rider counts and vehicle types are unpublished. Obligations are not outlays.
Questions
- How much Special Needs Transportation spending is obligated in FY2026?
- USAspending.gov lists $111,085,243.06 in Special Needs Transportation (NAICS 485991) obligations for FY2026. That yearlyTrend amount is 14.2% of the industry's $779,717,103.99 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2026. Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Is $111,085,243.06 the entire Special Needs Transportation USAspending total?
- No. NAICS 485991's extract-wide total is $779,717,103.99. FY2026 is 14.2% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add /industries/485991/ into this join. 640 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.
- Is $111,085,243.06 cash already paid in FY2026?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $111,085,243.06 as checks already cleared in FY2026 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.
- Are FY2026 figures final?
- Not necessarily. The source note says FY figures can be incomplete for the current year. $111,085,243.06 is the published yearlyTrend amount for NAICS 485991 in FY2026 on this snapshot. Prefer /industries/485991/ and /fiscal-years/2026/ if live tables moved. Outlays are unpublished.
