The purpose of UMTA's Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) Program is to provide information about possible improvements to urban mass transportation systems which communities can use in selecting the best way to deal with their particular transportation requirements. The principal means of providing this information is to publish annually a compilation of reports on the status of UMTA's projects. Research projects are intended to produce information about possible improvements in urban mass transportation; development projects involve fabrication, testing and evaluation of new equipment; facilities, and systems or methods; and demonstration projects introduce, on an experimental basis, new methods, equipment or systems of urban mass transportation into a representative urban environment. This publication is a supplement to the 1972 comprehensive volume and contains description of current RD&D projects sponsored and funded by UMTA. The directory is divided into the following subject areas: bus and paratransit, rail, new systems and automation, socio-economic and special projects, and safety and product qualification, service and methods demonstrations, and policy and program development.
