MONTHLY REPORTS
Federal Highway Administration (FWHA) — Recovery Act Data System

The status of all highway and bridge projects funded with Recovery Act funds must be reported to the Federal Highway Administration each month. The reporting takes place in the FHWA’s Recovery Act Data System (RADS), a web-based and password-protected database that tracks project status including award date, start date, percent complete, completion date and vendor payments; and employment information that includes the number of workers, their hours, and the amount of payroll on each project by month. This information is gathered in eight separate spreadsheets within RADS. The FHWA has issued detailed guidance documents for using and entering data into RADS.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) — Award Recipient Reporting Tool
The status of all airport projects funded with Recovery Act funds must be reported monthly using the Recipient Reporting Tool, The FAA’s web-based and password-protected one-page spreadsheet that records cumulative data on awards and outlays, and on the number of contractor hours and Department of Transportation and Public Facilities staff hours logged on the project. The FAA has issued guidance for using the reporting tool.

U.S. House of Representatives — Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, chaired by Michigan Representative James Oberstar, requested monthly reports in 2009, and has extended this request through 2010. These reports provide cumulative information on the progress of highway infrastructure and transit projects including the amount of Recovery Act funds associated with projects at the bid state, the award stage and underway. The report also asks for employment information including a jobs calculation and the hours of work and payroll on Recovery Act projects. The report is prepared on forms provided by the Committee.

QUARTERLY REPORTS
U.S. Office of Management and Budget — (OMB) ‘1512’ Report
Section 1512 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act requires award recipients to make quarterly reports to the federal Office of Management and Budget , providing information on project status and employment occurring as a result of Recovery Act expenditures. The first report was due on the 10th of October, 2009, and future reports are due the 15th of January, April, July and October in 2010. These reports provide information for the preceding three-month period. OMB has issued guidance for preparation of the report.

Federal Transit Authority — TEAM Report
The Federal Transit Authority requires a quarterly report that must include the name of the grantee (ie, City and Borough of Juneau, or Central Area Rural Transit System), the sub-grantee (ie, the vendor supplying buses, vans or other services), cumulative funds obligated and/or expended, delivery dates, cumulative job hours and jobs created or sustained. The information is entered into a password-protected, web-based reporting system under guidance issued by the FTA.

ANNUAL REPORTS
U.S. Department of Transportation — Section 1201 Report
In receiving Recovery Act funds, each state certified that it would maintain state funding for highways, airports and transit at specified levels between the date of the Act on February 17, 2009, and the end of the Federal Fiscal Year on September 30, 2010. This was required in the Act to assure that Recovery Act funds would not simply replace state sources of funding. In Alaska, Governor Palin certified that the state would maintain highway funding for this period at $299,050,311; airport funding at $37,895,253; and transit funding at $1,157,151. Reports under Section 1201 are due on February 17 in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
