Three years later, local governments had used only about $74 million, or 3 percent, of the funds available for mass transit projects, while they used about $1 billion for highway projects. More funds were not used for mass transit for several reasons, including --the large amount of work urban high- ways needed, --less matching shares required for Fed- eral mass transit than for highway pro- grams, --more Federal money was obtained by using Trust Fund money for highways and other Federal money for mass transit, --unissued Federal regulations for imple4 menting mass transit projects, and --confusion or delays experienced by some smaller communities in obtaining project approval. 77-49 77 '77, t) ~ 1'~ 2' CED- T 'a A'R CH 11 6, 1 9 7 7
