The Municipal Grants Management Assessment Survey assessed Broward MPO member governments’ ability to apply for and administer Federal discretionary transportation grant awards, as well as administer and implement Local Agency Program (LAP) projects. Through a voluntary online survey sent to all member governments’ city managers, the MPO was able to gauge differences in capacity of its municipal partners in order to better assist in the delivery of Federally funded projects.The results of this Survey showed an incomplete ability across cities of all sizes to fully implement complex Federally funded and LAP projects. Additionally, the Survey indicates a lesser ability of smaller cities to apply for and oversee the awarding of Federal discretionary grants, and a lesser familiarity and capacity with LAP requirements. To view the Full Report for this Survey, please see Attachment 1.

At the upcoming meeting, MPO staff will provide a brief presentation on the Survey and address any questions or comments. For the PowerPoint presentation, please see Attachment 2.
