UMTA Moves Into Full Operation With Big Budget
The Urban Mass Transportation Administration has moved from planning into full operation with a four year old agency leveraging a billion dollar budget next year. Officials say the program focuses on research development and new transit technologies while planning to test a three mile Morgantown student mover and dial a ride services in Haddonfield. Critics urge more operating subsidies as cities push for subway construction and better mass transit funding nationwide.
