Better Justifications Needed

For Automated People Mover

Demonstration Projects



The Urban Mass Transportation Administra-
tion has established a program to demon-
strate whether automated people mover sys-
tems are workable solutions to downtown
transit problems. These systems are driverless
vehicles operating on fixed guideways.

The program includes nine projects with a
potential cost to the Federal Government of
nearly $675 million. Four of these projects
were added at congressional direction. The
Federal agency states that four of the five
projects that were not congressionally directed
are needed to meet program objectives. How-
ever, it has not adequately clarified the unique
contributions each project will make toward
meeting the objectives or why fewer projects
and existing information are not sufficient,
In addition, the planned evaluation of these
projects should be strengthened.
