RELEASED


Mass Transit For Elderly

And Handicapped Persons:

Urban Mass Transportation

Administration's Actions


Department of Transportation


Until late 1974, the Urban Mass Trans-
portation Administration was generally un-
responsive to the transit needs of elderly and
handicapped persons. During 1975 and 1976
improvements have been made.

Many representatives of elderly and hand-
icapped persons believe that the Urban Mass
Transportation Act requires all urban transit
services to be fully accessible to everyone.
The Transportation Administration believes
that providing equivalent specialized services
fulfills the law. These opposing views have led
to court cases to resolve the issue.

GAO is not taking a position on the legal con-
troversy but believes that certain factors
should be considered in developing future leg-
islation and that service for the elderly and
the handicapped can be improved.
