Recommendations

We recommend that the Washington Office issue guidance to its regions to strengthen the LRT project selection process to formally document the information reviewed and decisions made when determining LRT project eligibility and scoring in a manner that allows for independent review.

We recommend that the Washington Office establish a plan to monitor the regions’ implementation of its April 3, 2024, guidance, which clarified that regions should solicit and consistently consider public input regionally in the ranking of IIJA projects for funding.

We recommend that the Washington Office establish a process to confirm that all tasks within an LRT project are eligible before approving the project and funding allocation.
