A Metropolitan Planning Organization (DFO) is a transportation policy organization mandated and funded by the federal government in the United States, consisting of representatives from local government and state transportation agencies. They were established to ensure regional cooperation in transport planning. [1] DFOs were introduced by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962, which mandated the formation of a DFO for every urbanized area (UZA) with a population of more than 50,000. Federal funding for transportation projects and programs is guided throughout this planning process. Congress created OPMs to ensure that current and future spending of government funds for transportation projects and programs is based on an ongoing, collaborative and comprehensive (“3-C”) planning process. Provincial and metropolitan transportation planning processes are governed by federal law (23 U.S.C. §§ 134-135). Transparency through public access to participation in the planning process and electronic publication of plans is now required by federal legislation. In 2015, there were 408 OPMs in the United States. [2] A Metropolitan Planning Organization (DFO) is an agency created by federal law to provide local elected officials with contributions to the planning and implementation of federal transportation for metropolitan areas with a population of more than 50,000.
The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962, which mandated DFO training, established that DFOs must plan regional transportation planning expenditures and are responsible for the ongoing, cooperative and comprehensive transportation planning process for their urban area. Under federal legislation established in the Highway Act of 1973 and the Urban Transit Act, organizations in urbanized areas are designated by their governors to conduct significant planning and programming of government-funded roads and transit projects. Political leadership, committees, technical staff and consultants, combined with the administrative skills required to support OPM planning processes, are essential elements of PMO activities.

The website is the only form of electronic invoice submission. According to the DFAR for electronic submission and processing of payment claims, electronic forms by fax, e-mail and scanned are not accepted.

The system performs a series of checks to verify that the invoice is correct.

Submitting an invoice is easy. Simply fill in all the required fields on the billing form. You select the option to create an invoice from scratch or templates. At a minimum, enter mandatory information such as contract number, invoice number, deadlines, line items (CLIN/SLIN/ACRN) and final invoice (Yes/No), and click the Submit button. You can also include an Excel, Word, Adobe PDF, PowerPoint, or Access file with your invoice. A complete list of DFOs from the Department of Transportation can be found here. Once the invoice has been successfully uploaded to the AP financial system, the EC team sends an email to the AP team with the invoice and all attachments. The AP team forwards invoice files to the Contracting Officer (CRO) representative for certification of the invoice (invoice approval or rejection). The AP team and the CoR carry out an in-depth analysis of the invoice on the basis of contractual clauses, federal invoicing rules and regulations.
