Carryover not tied to a named FAA award

$311.7 million

Exact amount: $311,668,831.67

Calendar year 2026

Leftover

Second pass on this box. Unspent money on every named O'Hare FAA award on 2025-08-01 (the date the Budget Book says carryover is counted) adds up to $146,095,270, against the $411,790,000 carried. Awards made after that date, the IIJA 2026 awards, expired grants, and awards already named in the first pass are not repeated.

The budget carries this much federal airport grant money over from earlier years. The FAA and USASpending records name awards that still have unspent money, but they explain only part of it. The rest is carryover the budget expects and no public record ties it to a project.
