TITLE 49--TRANSPORTATION
SUBTITLE III--GENERAL AND INTERMODAL PROGRAMS
CHAPTER 53--MASS TRANSPORTATION
Sec. 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

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(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).
