Summary:

The Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) oversight of federally funded major capital projects has evolved over the past several years to include more comprehensive and ongoing reviews of a proposed grantee's financial capacity to construct a major transit system. Changes in project management, oversight, and grant-making activities have come about because of project costs and schedule problems identified through FTA's oversight program and increased congressional scrutiny. Changes should help the grantees avoid major cost, schedule, or quality problems and help protect the federal government's investments. However, FTA is concerned that funds may be insufficient to monitor large projects in the future.
