Book Description
Since 2001, the U.S. Dept. of Labor has spent nearly $900 million on three workforce employment and training grant initiatives: High Growth Job Training Initiative (High Growth), Community-Based Job Training Initiative (Community Based), and the Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED). This report examines: (1) the intent of the grant initiatives and the extent to which Labor will be able to assess their effects; (2) the extent to which the process used competition, was adequately documented; and (3) what Labor is doing to monitor individual grantee compliance with grant requirements. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

Book Description
In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed federal management of discretionary assistance programs, specifically the policies and practices agency officials use to decide which eligible applicants receive awards and how much they receive. GAO found that: (1) most federal discretionary grant programs have competitive processes to solicit and review applications; (2) nearly two-thirds attempt to solicit applications from all eligible applicants; and (3) over three-fourths use persons from outside the program office to provide an independent perspective in the review of applications. GAO believes that the discretionary grant process could be strengthened in many programs to enhance competition and promote accountability for award decisions through: (1) more rigorous review of unsolicited applications; (2) internal review of decisions restricting the scope of applicant solicitation; (3) the use of independent reviews; and (4) managerial accountability for deviation from reviewers' recommendations in the award decision process.

Book Description
" In fiscal year 2015, Education awarded more than $4 billion to over 7,000 grantees through some 80 discretionary grant programs. Over the past decade, GAO and Education's Inspector General identified various grants management and oversight challenges, including effectively monitoring grantee performance. GAO was asked to examine Education's oversight of its discretionary grants. This report examines the extent to which Education: (1) consistently applied its discretionary grant monitoring policies, and (2) identified and shared across the department information about the performance of discretionary grantees. GAO reviewed the grant monitoring practices of three of Education's seven principal offices, which together awarded more than 80 percent of discretionary grant funds in fiscal year 2015, according to GAO's review of Education data, the most recent data available. Additionally, GAO reviewed a randomly selected, nongeneralizable sample of 75 official grant files; analyzed federal and Education grants policies and procedures; and interviewed Education grant officials and nine randomly selected grantees.

Book Description
The United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) is taking a bold step in dealing with metropolitan area congestion by promoting and funding demonstrations of congestion pricing and other strategies aimed at reducing congestion. The key policy question is the effectiveness of these strategies. An evaluation is designed to answer this question by measuring the benefits, impacts and value of each metropolitan area's approach to congestion reduction. In addition, evaluation of multiple sites will demonstrate how well the strategies perform under different situations. This book addresses congressional interest in how well the Department of Transportation communicated Urban Partnership Agreements (UPA) selection criteria, whether it had discretion to allocate grant funds to UPA recipients and consider congestion pricing as a priority selection factor, and how it is ensuring that UPA award conditions are met and results are assessed. This book reviewed departmental documents, statutes and case law, and interviewed department officials and UPA applicants. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.
