This collection of Lessons Learned Reports shares lessons learned at the various phases of the New Starts projects which can be usefully applied to other projects. The lessons pertain to engineering and project management activities and are classified into the relevant New Starts phases and categories.
BACKGROUND
The lessons learned program was developed with the assistance of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Project Management Oversight Program (PMOP) contractors, transit properties and FTA regional engineers. The objective of Project Management Oversight is to assist FTA in the monitoring of a grantee's project development and implementation.
