                   Federal Funds Used In Chicago

                   To Procure, And Later Replace,

                   Unreliable -Communication Equipment

                   Urban Mass Transportation Administration
                   Department of Transportation


                   The Urban Mass Transportation Administra-
                   1 in granted ft  Chicago Transit Authority
                   about $6.1 million from 1968 through 1975
                   to acquire an advanced bus communication

                .. The Fe*ueral agency approved the purchase of
                   1,070 communication units even though the
                   data transmission capabilities of this equip-
                   ment were never proven reliable under a
                   demonstration grant which provided for 500
                   unils.
                   Partly because the system works poorly' the
                   Authority requested about $3.8 million of
-.-               additional capital assistance to replace the
                  m.570 units, some of which were less than 3
                  years old. The Federal agency approved this
                  request but did not fully analyze alternative
                  solutions to the replacement proposal until
                  after approval.
