              REPORT TO THE CONGRESS



  < .VD ST.1

oC       W. BY THE COMPTR OLLER GENERAL

               OF THE UNITED STATES


                                                               LM101770





              Management Actions Needed To

              Improve Federal Highway

              Safety Programs

              Federal Highway Administration

              Department of Transportation


              A 1972 GAO report said more Federal-aid
              construction funds should be used to improve
              highway safety. Although spending on high-
              way safety had increased from $100 million
              in 1971 to $1.1 billion in 1975, neither the
              Highway Administration nor the States had
              assurance that the funds obligated were for
              projects offering the greatest safety benefits.

              The Highway Safety Act of 1966 required the
              States to establish systematic procedures for
              selecting safety construction projects. None
              of the eight States GAO reviewed had fully
              met this requirement. Furthermore, the High-
              way Administration had not developed ade-
              quate procedures to measure the States' pro-
              gress in implementing their systems and did
              not know what progress had been made or
              when the States would meet the spirit of the
              act.
