Transportation discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Transportation's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Appropriations, Obligation Limitations, and Exempt Obligations Research and Analysis - NCSA $ 10,294 The Highway Safety Research and Development programs support research, demonstrations, evaluation, technical assistance, and national leadership activities for behavioral safety programs conducted by State and local governments, as well as various safety associations and organizations. These programs are designed to provide our State and local partners with the latest tools to combat impaired, distracted, and unsafe driving while encouraging occupant protection, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and development of best practices for emergency medical and trauma care systems as part of a comprehensive highway and traffic safety system. This funding supports the National Driver Register's Problem Driver Pointer System, which helps to identify drivers who have been suspended for or convicted of serious traffic offenses, such as driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Finally, this funding will allow NHTSA to improve its vital data collection and analysis, which drives all the agency's safety activities. Exhibit III-1a: Summary of Analysis of Changes

Contracts funded by this line
112 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
