FL-AL TPO Federal Certification

Florida-Alabama TPO, TCC, and CAC Members and Interested Parties,
 
Every four years the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) conduct a Federal Certification Review of the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization (TPO). The main purpose of the review is to certify that the Florida-Alabama TPO is satisfactorily meeting the planning requirements as defined in Federal laws and regulations. This process also provides FHWA and FTA the opportunity to add value to the Florida-Alabama TPO’s planning process through the sharing of best practices, techniques, and/or technology. A certification review generally consists of four primary activities:

1. a “desk audit” which is a review of the TMA’s main planning process documents (LRTP, TIP, UPWP);
2. a “site visit” with staffs from the TMA’s various transportation planning partners (TPO, FDOT, local/regional transit service provider(s), and other participating state/local agencies) and this includes opportunities for local elected officials and the general public to provide comments on the planning process;
3. the preparation of a “FHWA/FTA TMA Certification Review Report” that documents the certification review’s findings; and
4. a formal FHWA Florida Division presentation of the review findings at a future TPO meeting.
