It was found that UMTA: (1) Does not have a means of ensuring that projects it undertakes are addressing the transit industry's most important needs; (2) Is spending research funds and effort on solving problems that the private sector is addressing on its own; and (3) Does not identify or consider barriers that prevent intended users from accepting or adopting research results.
