About this
Web Site:
This web site is dedicated to increasing the transparency of government at
all levels: federal, state and local. What is government transparency and
why should taxpayers demand it? A government is transparent when it
reports its results and accomplishments back to the people who "own" it:
the taxpayers. Transparency requires government to measure
its performance, report on success and failure, and demonstrate a clear
and compelling case for continuing to fund specific programs. Simply
put, government programs should only receive taxpayer dollars when they
demonstrate clear results.
This website designed to benefit the ordinary taxpayer wanting information
on what they are getting for their tax dollars, as well as government
managers wanting to implement the principles of transparency,
accountability and performance in their
individual programs to demonstrate their worth to the taxpayer.
Help us advance government transparency by reviewing the resources on this
site and adding additional content on the performance of government.

Raw Data - Here you will find the original 234 Excel spreadsheets, exactly as released by the Office of Management and Budget. Each file can be opened or downloaded individually, or downloaded as a compressed ZIP file containing all 234 files.
Overall Results by Program - For each program, the subtotals of each section of the PART were extracted and put into a master document. Those subtotals were then added up and averaged. All six columns of data (four PART sections, aggregate and average) are contained on each of these three spreadsheets.
Overall Results by Cabinet Department - For each agency, the data collected for each of its evaluated programs was added up and averaged to create agency-wide scores. NOTE: This data should not be construed as an evaluation of the agency's management performance. It is merely an evaluation of the programs within an agency.
Section Results by Program - The PART questionnaire is divided into four sections: Program Purpose, Program Planning, Program Management and Program Results/Accountability. Clicking on the links below will take you to pages that will explain how to interpret each section, as well as the results and rankings.
Overall Results by Program Type - The Office of Management and Budget created customized PART evaluation forms for the seven different program types. After building a master spreadsheet containing the section subtotals, the aggregate, and the average scores, the list was divided according to the program type. Then it was ranked. Those rankings are below.
