4 FTA Oversight in Context Oversight is necessary and beneficial for grantees, the public, and FTA Strengthens the capacity of our grantees to improve public transit for America s communities Required in legislation Fulfills FTA s fiduciary responsibility to prevent and identify improper payments and to ensure every dollar counts toward improving public transit. Confirms and promotes grantee compliance with FTA requirements Helps address Congressional and public questions about the use of federal funds 4
5 FTA Oversight in Context FTA s regulatory environment is constantly changing Federal laws, Congressional mandates for new regulations, Presidential Executive Orders, and findings and recommendations from agencies that review and audit FTA can affect program oversight and present challenges to maintaining review consistency FTA must follow, and help grantees adhere to, these changes through program material updates and circulars 5
6 What is Program Oversight? Comprehensive Reviews (Triennial & State Management) Occur every three years Forward-looking instead of reactive Assess management practices and program implementation Specialized Reviews (Financial, Procurement, & Civil Rights) Occur at FTA s discretion Focus on specific areas of Federal compliance 6

12 Agenda FTA Program Oversight Overview Program Oversight Lifecycle Initiatives to Improve Compliance Oversight Data Trends Most Common Findings 12
13 Dynamic Review Guide Purpose: Prepare individualized review guides and information requests based on funding program and grantee characteristics Process: Analyze and sort existing review questions Standardize review questions across Triennial and State Management Review programs Determine applicability of each question to each grantee by: Funding program received (5307, 5310, 5311, etc.) Organization type (state/non-state) Whether the grantee directly operates service Modes operated (bus, rail, ferry, etc.) Whether or not the grantee has sub-recipients Generate grantee-specific review guides and information requests Intended outcomes: Reduced information request response burden on grantees More flexible review program 13
14 Grantee Oversight Workshops Purpose: Improve consistency across review programs and communicate FTA's oversight responsibilities, processes, and expectations in a unified forum Process: Merge program workshops into a single Oversight Workshop Identify and consolidate common content for plenary sessions Separate tracks/breakouts for topic areas More interactive exercises and real world examples Intended outcomes: Increased grantee attendance and participation Clearer, more consistent information about programs and processes More proactive approach with grantees Greater convenience and flexibility 14
15 Online Training Program Purpose: Provide additional opportunities for grantees to learn about and understand FTA's oversight review process Process: Develop short webinars and online training modules covering key compliance and oversight review topics Webinar topics and online modules to be developed in consultation with grantees, regions, program offices, and review contractors Intended outcomes: Reinforce information provided at Oversight Workshops Refresher for workshop participants in advance of review Capacity building for grantee staff 15
16 Enhanced Technical Assistance Purpose: Provide more targeted and effective technical assistance to grantees in order to reduce overall findings, resolve open ones, and prevent repeat findings. Process: Identify and understand current and anticipated assistance Identify gaps in assistance to determine areas of need Initiate proactive assistance for grantees Focus on capacity building in addition to resolution of specific issues Create a feedback mechanism and evaluation process Intended outcomes: Higher compliance rates (fewer findings) Better relationships between FTA and transit industry 16
17 Contractor Summit Purpose: Bring review contractors together to foster greater consistency in the review process Process: Pilot summit will focus on Triennial Review and SMR contractors Presentations to reinforce FTA priorities, program updates and changes, trends, and experiences Interactive scenarios/exercises involving actual review findings Discussion/brainstorming about improving consistency Intended outcomes: Understand inconsistencies in findings and corrective actions Identify where and why those differences originate Determine need for updates, education, and better communication Emphasize the need for documenting the rationale for findings 17
18 Oversight Data Trends Purpose: Enhance analysis of program oversight data to identify and communicate compliance trends Process: Analyze data from FTA s largest review program (Triennial Review) 596 Triennial Reviews with 4,700 findings from 2013 to states, 2 territories, and 1 federal district Determine area(s) of interest (First up: Number of findings per review) Identify compliance trends based on grantee characteristics (location, size, organization type, modes operated, etc.) Communicate analyses with transit industry stakeholders Intended outcomes: A broader understanding of compliance trends Effective and helpful compliance program improvements developed utilizing program oversight data 18
