Mass Transit Funds Quickly Spent By UMTA
The Urban Mass Transportation Administration has committed over three quarters of its $5.5 billion allocation for 1980s mass transit projects in two years. Much of the spending is in principle, with less than half actually obligated. Funds will be paid out over years, and over $3 billion remains in a separate operating-loss subsidy fund that could be redirected to capital grants. Officials say additional funding will be sought, and timing may affect long-range project payments.
