Description

Since 2009, Congress has appropriated $4.2 billion to the Dept. of Transportation (DOT) to award Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants for transportation investments intended to have a significant impact on the nation, a region, or a metropolitan area. GAO noted a number of concerns with DOT's process for evaluating TIGER applications and selecting projects during the 2013 funding round. Consequently, in May 2014, GAO recommended that DOT establish additional accountability measures for the 2014 and subsequent TIGER funding rounds. This report assesses (1) DOT's progress in addressing the May 2014 recommendations; (2) the extent to which DOT has leveraged non-federal funds in selected TIGER grants awarded from 2009 through 2012, and met other selected program objectives; and (3) steps DOT has taken to measure the performance of the overall TIGER program. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
