April 2009 Executive Summary THE FY05-FY08 PERFORMANCE AUDIT OF HOUSTON METRO MEETS STATE REQUIREMENTS AND PROVIDES A BALANCED AND OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF METRO'S PERFORMANCE • Section 451.454 of the Texas Transportation Code mandates quadrennial performance audits of transit agencies. The purpose of the performance audit is to provide: – Information necessary for state and local officers to perform oversight functions – Information useful to improve METRO’s operations efficiency and effectiveness. • This performance audit is required to review METRO's performance over four years from FY05 through FY08 (October 2004-September 2008), by assessing METRO’s: – Data collection and measurement of specified key performance indicators – Compliance with applicable state laws – Performance in one of three areas (i.e., administration and management, transit operations, or system maintenance). • State performance audit requirements stipulate that performance in each functional area must be addressed once every three audits. This audit includes a review of METRO’s fixed route bus and rail maintenance functions. FY05-FY08 Performance Audit: 1 Booz Allen Hamilton Inc./Matt & Associates Executive Summary MFR, P.C. Executive Summary THE PERFORMANCE AUDIT PROVIDES AN OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF METRO'S MAINTENANCE PERFORMANCE • While the audit complies with State requirements, a review of METRO’s maintenance performance alone cannot provide a meaningful understanding of the Authority’s transit performance trends. A full understanding of METRO’s transit performance would require reviewing METRO’s transportation program as well as its administrative activities and management performance during the audit period.
