A Compliance and/or Management Performance Review is a tool employed by many State Departments of Transportation to both monitor compliance of their Section 5311 grantees with State and Federal requirements as well as to provide technical assistance.  RLS & Associates, Inc. (RLS) has been performing these types of reviews for well over 20 years and has developed a successful process for providing a comprehensive assessment of each grantee’s practices to determine the degree to which the system under review is in compliance with Federal and State regulations.  Reviews typically last 1-2 days and are documented in a detailed report of findings and recommendations and an implementation schedule for achieving compliance.  Incorporating a technical assistance component into the reviews allows States to share best practices among the Section 5311 systems to improve management and operations.  RLS has conducted these types of reviews across the country, including Indiana, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
