What are the long-term plans for TACT evaluation? Will detailed evaluations always be required?
Evaluation is an inherent part of any action program. An effective program design will always include evaluation to provide feedback for program improvement. The only issue is how extensive the evaluation should be. TACT is currently in a demonstration phase in which it is desirable to derive lessons learned from each TACT grant. If the TACT concept is validated by these demonstration grants and Congress removes the requirement for a rigorous evaluation, the extent of evaluation activities may decrease. For example, detailed behavioral measures might no longer be necessary. It is still certain, however, that an appropriate level of evaluation will be specified as part of any future TACT activities both to enhance the project and to provide FMCSA, as the sponsor, with documentation of program accomplishments.
