This book contains the statutes authorizing and governing the Federal urban mass transportation program and the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA), as well as other statutory material relevant to mass transportation and government operations generally. It is designed as a guidebook for UMTA staff as well as UMTA grantees and interested members of the general public.

Part I of this volume contains the basic authorizing statute, the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, as amended through January 1, 1979 (the Act). All amendments have been incorporated into the text of the Act. The footnotes offer explanatory material and statutory references, identify related material found in other legislation, and contain provisions of legislation governing the UMTA program that have been amended, superseded, overtaken by events or have expired.

Part I also contains related material from the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1970, the National Mass Transportation Assistance Act of 1974 and the Federal Public Transportation Act of 1978 (Title III of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1978).

Part II sets out the Federal-aid highway laws which are relevant to the UMTA program.

Part III contains an extensive selection of statutory materials relevant to both the substantive aspects of UMTA programs and the administrative operations of the agency.

It should be noted that many of the activities and operations of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration are now or soon will be governed by Federal regulatory materials which are not reprinted in this book. Information about UMTA regulations can be obtained through the Office of the Chief Counsel, UMTA, Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590.
