This Directory focuses on activities that took place in Fiscal Year 1982. Together, these projects constitute the Federal program of technical assistance for urban transportation. The projects described in this Directory are funded under Sections 6, 8, 10, and 11 of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, as amended. Section 6 programs of the Act pertain to research, development and demonstration projects in all phases of urban mass transportation, including transportation planning and management, testing, demonstration of new facilities, equipment, techniques, and methods. Section 8 programs of the ACT are aimed at conducting local transportation planning studies, known as Technical Studies. A portion of these Technical Studies funds are also used annually for Special Studies to help local planning agencies and UMTA improve the quality of information used for local transportation planning. Section 10 programs of the ACT pertain to managerial training grants that are made available to States and local public agencies to provide fellowships for training of personnel employed in managerial, technical, and professional positions in the urban mass transportation field. Section 11 programs of the ACT pertain to university research and training. This program is designed to contribute to UMTA's research and to stimulate professional growth in fields relating to transportation.
