Executive Decision Making Distribution of U.s.dot/fta Budget for the Cpmo Program Prepared By

This study project is related to resource allocation of contract funds for the U.S.DOT/Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Capital Project Management Oversight (CPMO) Program. Contract proposals exceed the budget cap that FTA is allowed to obligate for oversight consultants in 15 regions in the U.S. An Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used for developing a resource allocation methodology. Expert Choice (TeamEC) software was the platform used for building an AHP resource decision model and Excel was used to perform an optimization exercise to maximize benefits.
