Title: Survey of FTA Stakeholders.
OMB Number: 2132-0564.
Background: The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is requesting
an extension without change to the customer service survey of its
stakeholders. FTA is required to identify its stakeholders and address
how the agency will provide services in a manner that seeks to
streamline service delivery and improve the experience of its
customers. FTA is seeking a three-year approval of an existing
information collection that will allow FTA to collect data from transit
agencies, states, tribal governments, and metropolitan planning
organizations. FTA will utilize the survey to assess how its services
are perceived by its customers, learn about opportunities for
improvement and establish goals to measure results. The data captured
from the survey will provide this information and enable FTA to make
improvements where necessary. The survey will be limited to data
collections that solicit voluntary opinions and will not involve
information that is required by regulations. Respondents are split into
two groups. Group A includes Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and other
executive leaders of transit agencies, state DOTs, and other FTA
stakeholders. Group B includes unit supervisors and professional staff
such as engineers, urban planners and budget analysts from the same
organizations. FTA will utilize the survey to assess how its services
are perceived by its customers, learn about opportunities for
improvement and establish goals to measure results. The information
obtained from the survey will provide insights into customer or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations; provide an early
warning of issues with service; or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery
of products or services.
Respondents: State Departments of Transportation (DOTs),
Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), Transit Authorities,
States, and Local Government Units, Indian Tribes.
Estimated Total Number of Respondents: 8,177.
Estimated Total Number of Responses: 8,177.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,022 hours.
Frequency: Biennial.

Director, Office of Management Planning.
