AMPO recently distributed a survey to membership between May 24 and July 31, 2023 focused on unobligated balances and carry over policies. Several factors prompted this survey, including the 2023 August Redistribution efforts, an accounting issue between Delphi and FMIS within FHWA leading to delays in obligating funds, and the rising unobligated balances seen nationwide. The purpose of this survey was to better understand the barriers Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and local partners face in obligating federal funds, while providing a national snapshot of the state of the practice.
