Background: 49 U.S.C. 5305
authorizes the use of federal funds to
assist metropolitan planning
organizations (MPOs), states, and local
public bodies in developing
transportation plans and programs to
serve future transportation needs of
urbanized areas and nonurbanized areas
throughout the nation. As part of this
effort, MPOs and states are required to
consider a wide range of goals and
objectives and to analyze alternative
transportation system management and
investment strategies. These objectives
are measured by definable activities
such as planning certification reviews
and other related activities.
The information collected is used to
report annually to Congress, the
Secretary, and to the Federal Transit
Administrator on how grantees are
responding to national emphasis areas
and congressional direction, and allows
FTA to track grantees’ use of federal
planning funds.
Respondents: FTA grant recipients.
