BY THE U.S, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE



Report To The Honorable Elizabeth H. Dole

The Secretary Of Transportation







Bus Rehabilitation Issues Need Attention






The Department of Transportation's Urban
Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA)
provides funds both to purchase new buses
and rehabilitate old buses Recently, UMTA
recognized the need to study the costs and
benefits of rehabilitating buses GAO be-
lieves that UMTA's planned study design
needs several changes that would make the
study more useful in developing UMTA's
bus rehabilitation policy

UMTA's funding formula favors new bus
purchases Until UMTA's cost-benefit study
is completed, GAO recomends that UMTA
make its rehabilitation funding formula iden-
tical to the formula for new bus purchases
so that UMTA's funding does not unduly
influence transit authority's decision to buy
new buses or rehabilitate existing buses

The Department agreed to make the new
and rehabilitated buses' funding formulas
identical and address some of GAO's con-
cerns with its cost-benefit study
