CONPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 AUG 6 19 B-180617 RELEASED The Honorable Alan Cranston United States Senate Dear Senator Cranston: On May 14, 1974, you asked us to review the grant by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (U!ITA) to the Long Beach Public Transporta- tion Company, Long Beach, California, particularly that part concerning Long Beach's plan to buy new bus stop benches. You asked whether UMTA's grant for Long Beach to buy bus stop benches was proper under the standards of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964 (49 U.S.C. 1601), whether the Administrator of U1TA could disapprove specific items in a proposed UMTA assistance grant, and whether the Admin- istrator had fulfilled his responsibility in approving funding for Long Beach's plan to replace existing bus stop benches. We believe that UMTA acted properly in administering its responsibility under the act.
