The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is building a 1.5 mile underground transitway to connect its existing transit system with the South Boston Piers area, which is undergoing significant economic development. The project is experiencing cost increases and schedule delays, which have led to concerns over funding. GAO notes that although MBTA has shown that it has the financial capacity to complete the project, it has not yet clearly demonstrated to the Federal Transit Administration's financial management oversight contractor that funding the transitway project will not impair its ability to operate and maintain its overall transit system. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-174R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-174R.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-174R/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-174R.pdf GAO-01-174R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-174R Correspondence GAO-01-174R; Mass Transit: Review of the South Boston Piers Transitway; Mass transit operations Subway construction Construction costs Financial management Cost overruns Schedule slippages South Boston Piers Transitway Project (Boston, MA) Central Artery/Tunnel Project (Boston, MA)
