handle is hein.gao/gaobabfhh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES 20 Years Of Federal Mass Transit Assistance: How Has Mass Transit Changed? The Department of Transportation has spent over $30 billion to help improve mass transit. This report examines changes in transit service and ridership since federal assistance began and the extent to which they have resulted in the social, economic, and environmental benefits generally asso- ciated with mass transit improvements. Federal funds have helped reverse the ser- vice and ridership declines that prompted federal mass transit funding. However, ser- vice costs have grown rapidly, and rider- ship gains nationwide have not increased transit's share of the commuting market. Mass transit has helped address a number of urban problems of congressional con- cern such as traffic congestion, air pollu- tion, energy consumption, and transporta- tion for low-income, elderly, and handi- capped persons. However, the general ex- pansion of transit service may not be the most effective or efficient means of addressing these problems. t2, D$1,d K c., GAO/RCED-85-61 SEPTEMBER 18, 1985 4 0 lc tqou, o5 5I$
