Mass Transit: Issues Related to Fiscal Year 1995 Appropriations
(Testimony, 04/13/94, GAO/T-RCED-94-180).

Budgetary pressures affect not only federal dollars available to transit
systems but state and local support as well.  Moreover, unfunded federal
mandates, such as the Americans With Disabilities Act and the Clean Air
Act Amendments, are boosting the costs of maintaining and operating
transit systems.  These factors make it more imperative than ever that
federal dollars be spent cost effectively.  This testimony focuses on
three issues: (1) What changes have occurred in capital investment
planning for transit systems? (2) What challenges face transit agencies
as they implement the paratransit requirements of the Americans With
Disabilities Act? (3) What issues surround the administration's proposal
to cut transit operating assistance?
