Federal Certification

Every four years, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) must jointly certify the metropolitan planning process (the Federal Certification Review process) in designated transportation management areas.

The SCAG region is such a designated area, and the FHWA and FTA most recently conducted this review with SCAG in April 2022.

Members of the public may provide the FHWA and the FTA with written comments by email or regular mail. The FHWA and the FTA will accept written comments through Monday, June 15, by email sent to cert.review@dot.gov. Comments can be sent by mail to Mr. Mervin Acebo, FTA Region IX LA Metro Office, 888 S. Figueroa, Suite 440, Los Angeles, CA 90017.
