U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 5335. Reports and audits
(a) National Transit Database. - (1) To help meet the needs of
individual mass transportation systems, the United States
Government, State and local governments, and the public for
information on which to base mass transportation service planning,
the Secretary of Transportation shall maintain a reporting system,
using uniform categories to accumulate mass transportation
financial and operating information and using a uniform system of
accounts. The reporting and uniform systems shall contain
appropriate information to help any level of government make a
public sector investment decision. The Secretary may request and
receive appropriate information from any source.
(2) The Secretary may make a grant under section 5307 of this
title only if the applicant, and any person that will receive
benefits directly from the grant, are subject to the reporting and
uniform systems.
(b) Biennial Transferability Report. - In January 1993, the
Comptroller General shall submit to the Committee on Transportation
and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives and the
Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate a
report on carrying out section 5307(b)(5) (!1) of this title. The
report shall -
(1) identify, by State, the amount of mass transportation money
transferred for non-mass transportation purposes under section
5307(b)(5) (!1) of this title during the prior fiscal year;
(2) include an assessment of the impact of the transfers on the
mass transportation needs of individuals and communities in the
State, including the impact on -
(A) the State's ability to meet the mass transportation needs
of elderly individuals and individuals with disabilities;
(B) efforts to meet the objectives of the Clean Air Act (42
U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) and the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.); and
(C) the State's efforts to extend public mass transportation
services to unserved rural areas; and
(3) examine the relative levels of Government mass
transportation assistance and services in urban and rural areas
in the fiscal year that ended September 30, 1991, and the extent
to which the assistance and service has changed in later fiscal
years because of mass transportation resources made available
under this chapter and the Intermodal Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act of 1991 (Public Law 102-240, 105 Stat. 1914).
