handle is hein.gao/gaobabdyf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE U,S, GENERAL ACCOUNT ING OFF CE Report To The Secretary Of Transportation Spreading Commuter Work Hours Could Reduce Transit Costs Meeting the demands of peak service com- muting is expensive, requiring the purchase and maintenance of buses and railcars and employment of more transit workers than are needed outside of rush hours. Spread- ing work arrivals and departures more evenly over a longer period could eliminate the need to purchase or rehabilitate transit ve- hicles and could reduce labor costs. The employers and employees GAO sur- veyed in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh indi- cated a willingness to change their work hours away from peak commuting times. GAO also examined six transit routes in these cities and determined that fewer tran- sit vehicles would be needed and reduced labor costs could be achieved by spreading the commuter work hours. In light of the continuing large Federal invest- ment in transit vehicles, GAO is making recommendations to the Secretary of Trans- portation on actions that should be taken to encourage State and local governments and transit systems to deal with the peak period problem.
