REPORT BY THE U, S.



General Accounting Office


Better Management Of

Metro Subway Equipment

Warranties Needed




The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit
Authority has expended about $300 million
for subway equipment. The authority plans to
buy additional equipment which it estimates
will cost another $600 million to service its
100-mile system. But the authority's warranty
administration for its present equipment con-
tracts and future procurements must be im-
proved.

GAO recommends that the authority's Gen-
eral Manager establish a consistent interpreta-
tion of equipment warranty and reliability
provisions with clearly defined roles and rela-
tionships for those involved. These arrange-
ments should fit Metro's existing operating
conditions, and should be effectively imple-
mented.
