Hinder The Planning Process

For Major Mass Transit Projects

This report discusses the policies and proce-
dures the Urban Mass Transportation Admin-
istration uses to identify a cost-effective mass
transit project. The planning procedures re-
quire that when such a project is proposed,
alternative projects must also be considered to
identify a cost-effective option.

Local officials on such projects generally ac-
cept the need to study alternatives but feel
the process needs better management.

Management weaknesses include a lack of
written guidance, ineffective communication,
and decisions inconsistent with Federal pol-
icy. Some improvements have been made, and
guidance is being developed.

This review was requested by Senator Charles
McC. Mathias, Jr.
