The Federal Highway Administration recorded two awards to the District of Columbia on Sept. 21: $10.4M for pavement restoration and $5.12M for traffic signal maintenance, by this paper's arithmetic $15.52M combined. The pavement grant runs under award 112018017Z240, the signal grant under award 112018045Z240, both formula grants.[^2][^1]

Federal awards data shows outlays to date match the full amount on each award - $10.4M drawn on the pavement grant, $5.12M drawn on the signal grant - so neither carries pending funds. Both postings landed on USASpending.gov the same day.
