FTA Question Bank

FTA Program Evaluation for Processes and Outcomes

OMB CONTROL NUMBER: 2132-XXXX
EXPIRATION DATE: mm/dd/yyyy

Paperwork Reduction Act Burden Statement:

A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for this information collection is 2132-XXXX. Public reporting for this collection of information is estimated to be approximately 0.33 hours per response for survey participants and 2.5 hours per response for focus group participants, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, completing and reviewing the collection of information. All responses to this collection of information are voluntary. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to: FTA PRA Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal Transit Administration 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE #E42-316 Washington, D.C. 20590.

Question Bank Review Instructions

ASSUMPTIONS

• Not all questions in the bank will be used in any single evaluation. The title of the survey and/or focus group, as well as instructions sent to respondents, will make it clear what FTA program the survey is discussing. A sub-set of questions can be selected from the bank to evaluate an FTA program.

• The Question Bank of 161 questions can be used to query recipients (e.g., State DOTs, tribal entities, transit agencies) of FTA program funding. These recipients execute eligible activities with program funding. Since many recipients use funding for multiple activities, the Question Bank refers to both ‘activities’ and ‘projects’ throughout.

• The questions and response options cannot be changed or tailored after OMB approval.

• This bank will be used for any FTA program evaluation in the next 3 years, through 2027.

• Some of the subject matter is only relevant to a portion of FTA programs (e.g., programs that release a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)).

• Skip-logic

  • For this version of the draft, the only stem logic denoted is for the “Active” vs “Closed” programs per question #4.

  • Skip logic will be fully defined and structured in the survey platform.

  • Stems will only be included if we think there’s a reasonable expectation that the respondents would say no and therefore skip an entire section of questions.

• Technical assistance refers to training and guidance provided by FTA staff to promote the exchange of information related to the planning, design, operation, and management of funded activities, regardless of form (e.g., briefings, webinars, formal training).

• Some instances of “and” in the response variables have been included when it is part of an official FTA/DOT term (e.g., Application and Submission Information).

KEY

*Skip-logic indicates a stem or dependent question for “Active” vs “Closed” programs and whose inclusion is dependent on the answer to the main stem.

(Closed) indicates a skip-logic question that will be used only for survey respondents whose funding is no longer active. This will be based on responses to question #4.

(Active) indicates a skip-logic question that will be used only for survey respondents whose funding is still in progress. This will be based on responses to question #4.

Note: There are questions that as written do not require two tenses based on a skip logic stem.

*This question can only appear for program recipients responding for awards beginning in 2022 or later. FTA did not establish formal strategic goals prior to 2022.

• Enhance Safety

While transit is already one of the safest modes of transportation, FTA is committed to improving safety even further. FTA provides safety oversight and technical assistance that strengthen our recipients’ safety culture and practices. This improves safety for riders and patrons who use transit, workers who maintain and operate transit, and pedestrians and others who interact with transit. (2022-26)

• Build Resiliency

FTA works to renew transit systems and increase the resiliency of those systems into the future. Public transportation is an essential component of American communities of all sizes, from tribal and rural communities to our largest cities. So that transit can continue to fulfill this critical role, FTA works to reduce the state of good repair backlog, increase the resiliency of infrastructure, and sustain maintenance and operations going forward. (2022-26)

• Increase Sustainability

FTA supports transit investments and infrastructure designs that address climate change, reduce harmful environmental impacts, and make long-term positive impacts on the environment. Novel technologies are shifting the transit industry away from fossil fuels and toward low- and no-emission vehicles and clean fuels. FTA works to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from environmental impacts of transit construction and operations. (2022-26)

• Improve Equity

FTA supports transit investments that address disparities in access to opportunity and services. Every community includes persons who, due to age, income level, or disability, cannot rely upon automobile travel to meet their mobility needs. All Americans deserve quality transit service that provides mobility to meet basic needs. (2022-26)

• Connect Communities

FTA works to expand high quality transit services that connect people and build communities in both urban and rural underserved communities. When transit is fast, frequent, and reliable, people are connected with one another and with new opportunities. Together, they build thriving communities and world-class cities. (2022-26)
