Surface Transportation: Reorganization, Program Restructuring, and Budget
Issues (Testimony, 02/13/95, GAO/T-RCED-95-103).

The Transportation Department's (DOT) surface transportation programs
support building and maintaining the nation's highways and transit
systems, researching advanced technologies and new safety techniques,
and overseeing safety for roads and rail. They collectively account for
more than $26 billion and 6,700 full-time-equivalent positions in DOT's
proposed fiscal year 1996 budget.  This testimony discusses (1) the
proposed reorganization of surface transportation within DOT, (2) the
proposed restructuring of DOT's grant delivery system, (3) surface
transportation budget issues, (4) federal funding of transit operating
assistance and new transit investments, and (5) the financial and
operating condition of Amtrak.
