The shuttle boats, which run primarily during morning and evening rush hours, are provided because traffic on the Greater New Orleans Bridge is congested, bus service is sporadic, and parking at the east bank office buildings is limited. DOD Directive 4500.36, dated January 1971, implements 10 U.S.C. 2632, which allows the Secretary of a military department to authorize gK transportatiQn _ro:..commu-ting ejplo-yes, provided other transportation facilities are in- adequate and a reasonable fare is charged for the service. The Navy's plan to expand its group transportation for its employees should benefit everyone, especially during the eerg__*cs-i ,s. In our opinion, however, the employee, and not the Government, should pay for the service. The operation now serves 220 to 280 employees daily and employs a 7-man crew which uses 2 40-foot utility boats and 2 workboats. By July 1975 approximately 1,100 employees will be commuting daily without charge. To accommodate this expansion, the crew will be increased to 27 and the 4 exist- ing boats will be replaced with 3 new 50-foot boats. Annual operating expenses for the expanded boat service will be $225,000. The Naval Support Activity plans to spend $572,000 in capital investments for (1) constructing a boat mooring--$298,000, (2) purchasing new boats--$180,000, and (3) constructing commuter parking lots--$94,000.
