VC The Honorable Gary R. Gayton Acting Administrator Urban Mass Transportation Administration A Department of TransportatiQn . ' Dear Mr 2ayton: In eiewing tarranty administration on yehicles pur- chase l:ough Urban Mass Transportation Administration- ;rants we--a-ted some transit authorities are procuring ssi b y no nessential a t r- rb-diQPe e ipm for the for advanced design~us (ADB). Although' our-erev iew -i&-Thtill in progress, this inforation, we believe, warrants your immediate consideration. In accordance with your ADB specifications, 1/ the bus speedometer includes an odometer as standard equipment. Row- E_ Iieverai transit adthorities are~' also buying hubodo- meters, which; like an odometer, is a mechanical instrument _torecord mileage.AproVing funds forprocuring two instruments performing the -qaQLu ; o app s e a ry. Se- -u-ses are already equipped with a mileage recording device, the need to purchase hubodometers as optional equip- ment is questionable. We identified 67 transit authorities in the process of procuring 4,608 ADBs. In questioning 14 of these authori- ties procuring 1,967 ADBs, 4 had placed orders requiring both an odometer and a hubodometer on 365 buses. These 365 hubo- dometers cost an estimated $54,750. The following chart lists the four grantees, the number of ADBs with hubodometers, and their estimated cost. 1/P. 11-38, baseline advanced design transit coach specifica- tions, Nov. 1978.
