This Directory focuses on activity that took place in Fiscal Year 1980, which began on October 1, 1979 and ended September 30, 1980. Section 6 of the Act pertains to research, development, and demonstration projects in all phases of urban mass transportation, which includes technology development and deployment, service and methods demonstrations, and transportation planning and management.

These grants are designed to contribute to UMTA's research and to stimulate professional growth in fields relating to transportation.
