The paper attempts to analyze the impacts of UMTA capital grants in terms of eleven national transportation goals: adequate service; appropriate rates and prices; economic efficiency; energy conservation; environmental protection; safety; employment generation; industry promotion and protection; regional and urban development; equity; and national defense. Where they are quantifiable, benefits and costs of grant programs are estimated for each goal. In general, grants for buses are found to be more cost effective than grants for urban rail.
