The FMO program started in July 1991 and is authorized at 49 U.S.C., Section 5338. This section allows the set-aside of one-half or three-quarters of one percent from certain program funds.

FMO services ensure that FTA can continue to discharge its financial management oversight responsibilities. This effort facilitates FTA compliance with Congressional direction to conduct independent financial assessments. FTA is charged with assisting the recipient community in meeting a high level of financial capacity needed to implement new start projects. Further, FTA requires assurances that grantees have sound financial management systems and adequate internal controls to manage the Federal funds.
