Requirements for the Annual Performance and Expenditures Report (APER)

- Title 23, Section 420.117 of the CFR requires that TxDOT issue a report for FHWA approval to continue and carry out statewide transportation planning and research activities as authorized. This report is created by TxDOT staff to ensure that all activities are monitored and that the work is being managed satisfactorily.

The requirements for the APER include a comparison of actual performance to established goals, status of expenditures in a format compatible with the Work Program and a comparison of actual costs incurred to costs budgeted. In addition, all approved Work Program revisions, cost overruns/underruns and any supporting data shall be reported within the APER.

This report must be submitted to

and approved by

FHWA by the last day of the calendar year.

The data for the APER is collected after the end of the state fiscal year from the main accounting spreadsheet and various spreadsheets containing pertinent project data, including the status of deliverables. The projects are separated between closed projects and continuing projects further categorized by functional area.
