REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Better Administration Of Capital Grants

Could Reduce Unnecessary Expenditures

On Mass Transit Projects




Because it has not adequately monitored
ra nts, the Federal Government spent at least
8 million at the Massachusetts Bay Transpor-
tation Authority with minimum benefits and
may incur an additional $6-million unneces-
sary cost. More timely action on the part of
the Urban Mass Transportation Administration
could have prevented (1) the construction of
a rapid transit track that is only partly used,
(2) a costly delay in purchasing automatic
train control equipment, and (3) the purchase
of three expensive, unused boilers.

GAO proposes several recommendations to
improve capital grant administration for mass
transit projects.
