Noteworthy Practices Performing MPO Administrative Functions

This project seeks to identify the various methods and systems used by Florida’s 27 metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to carry out various administrative functions including progress reporting and federal reimbursement, services and tangible goods procurement, grant and contract management, office and facilities management, and personnel management. The research objectives include: (1) Documenting current federal and state requirements for MPO administrative functions through a review of relevant regulatory and guidance documents. (2) Documenting current national MPO administrative practices through a targeted review of available literature using publicly available national databases. (3) Documenting Florida MPO administrative practices and processes. (4) Documenting noteworthy practices for MPO administrative practices within Florida, practices that are efficient and effective and achieve desired outcomes and which could serve as examples for MPOs across Florida. (5) Developing clear suggestions for improved MPO administrative practices and processes across the state, focusing on those practices that will give Florida MPOs a framework for efficiently and effectively managing their administrative and workforce-related tasks.
