The FTA conducted a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the overall ADA compliance system of the MTA. This evaluation consisted of observations, interviews, and quantitative analysis.
Why do you think FTA officials provide an "Introduction to MTA" in the report?
The FTA officials provide the introduction to provide an overall scale of the MTA system. With over $1 billion in its budget the MTA is a very system and integral aspect of the overall Baltimore, Maryland community.

With over 700 buses, 200 subway cars, and 50 light rail cars, the MTA system is critical to the overall functioning of the Baltimore transportation industry. The introduction also provides an overall scale of the transit system in Baltimore, Maryland. Viewers, who read the introduction in its entirety, can realize that Baltimore appears to be thriving and growing economy. To support the growth and overall well-being of the community, the MTA system must be maintained. As the community and overall citizenry grows, so too must the system.

The scope section is also important as it provides the independent observer with the ability to determine if the overall scope of the investigation was warranted.
