Evaluation Of Programs In The Department Of Transportation-An Assessment

Abstract

A basic agency management responsibility is to establish and maintain adequate management control systems. One such control, the evaluation system, involves determining whether program objectives are being met. These objectives have been established by various levels of responsible federal officials--that is, congressional committees, executive branch policymakers, agency policy officials, or program managers. This review--the second of its type 1/ --was undertaken to assess the extent to which (1) evaluation within the Department of Transportation(DOT) is an established part of the management process and (2) evaluation activities are aimed at serving congressional and executive branch decision making needs.
