BY THE US, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE

Report To The

Secretary Of Transportation


Applying DOT's Rail Policy To

Washington, D.C.'s Metrorail System

Could Save Federal Funds

The Department of Transportation's policy
of requiring full funding--setting a ceiling on
the level of Federal funding--and a modified
version of its incremental construction pol-
ity for rapid-rail systems should be applied
to the 26 unfunded miles of the Washing-
tan, D.C., rapid-rail system. The system has
een planned as a 101-mile system; full or
partial funding has been received for about
75 miles.


GAO believes that if the Department's rail
policy were applied to the 26 unfunded
miles (1) Federal savings could be realized,
(2) better use of limited Federal funds could
Oe made, and (3) more realistic cost esti-
  ates could be made, allowing for better
0orecasts of future needs. In addition, GAO
believes that the Department needs to bet-
ter define the type of funding commitment
required from local jurisdictions to support
khe system and require periodic reevaluat-
ions of funding commitments.
