Book excerpt: Federal, state, and local investment in transit has grown over the years, resulting in the expansion of the nation's public transit systems. FTA works in partnership with states and local grant recipients, such as transit agencies, to administer federal transit programs, and provide financial, technical, and other assistance.

This book was released on 2017-08-03 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Many of the nearly 700 public transit agencies in the United States struggle to maintain their bus and rail assets in good repair. Assets that are not in an acceptable condition and not rehabilitated or replaced can reduce safety, on-time service, and ridership. Asset management practices can help agencies prioritize their capital investments to help optimize limited funding. This report examines (1) the extent to which selected transit agencies follow leading asset management practices to prioritize capital investments, and challenges in using these practices; (2) the extent to which these agencies measure the effects of capital investments; and (3) FTA initiatives to support transit agencies' use of leading practices. GAO reviewed federal legislation and analyzed reports on leading asset management practices; reviewed the asset management practices of 18 transit agencies through a site visit or literature search; and interviewed federal officials and others. Site visit agencies were selected to represent a range of sizes based on annual ridership and the number of vehicles available. The findings from the 18 agencies cannot be generalized. "

Download or read book Public Transit Observations on Recent Changes to the Capital Investment Grant Program written by U.s. Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " FTA's Capital Investment Grant program provides roughly $2 billion in appropriated funds each year to help states, cities, and localities plan and build new or extensions to existing fixed-guideway transit systems. Under this program, project sponsors-usually local transit agencies-have typically applied for their projects to receive federal funding as either a New Starts or a Small Starts project. In 2012, MAP-21 created a new category of eligible projects called Core Capacity Improvement projects and also revised the process proposed projects must follow to be eligible for and receive federal funding. MAP-21 included a provision for GAO to biennially review FTA's and the Department of Transportation's implementation of this program. This report discusses: (1) FTA's progress in implementing changes to the program required by MAP-21 and (2) how selected project sponsors view the MAP-21 changes and FTA's implementation of those changes. To conduct this review, GAO reviewed the relevant provisions of pertinent laws and FTA's policy guidance, interviewed FTA officials and representatives from 13 project sponsors representing 17 of 52 projects participating in the program, and visited the sites of two Core Capacity Improvement projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction: This volume presents 103 options that would decrease federal spending of increase federal revenues over the next decade. Those options cover many areas-ranging from defense to energy, Social Security, and provisions of the tax code. The budgetary effects identified for most of the options span the 10 years from 2014 to 2023 (the period covered by CBO's May 2013 baseline budget projections), although many of the options would have longer-term effects as well. Chapters 2 through 5 present options in the following categories: Chapter 2: Mandatory spending other than that for health-related programs; Chapter 3: Discretionary spending other than that for health-related programs, Chapter 4: revenues other than those related to health; Chapter 5: Health-related programs and revenue provisions. In addition to 11 options that are similar in scope to others in this volume, Chapter 5 includes 5 broad approaches for reducing spending on health care programs or revenues forgone because of tax provisions related to health care. Each would offer lawmakers a variety of possibilities for making changes in current laws. Chapter 6 differs from the rest of the volume; it discusses the challenges and the potential budgetary effects of eliminating a cabinet department.
