These systems are driverless vehicles operating on fixed guideways. The program includes nine projects with a potential cost to the Federal Government of nearly $675 million. Four of these projects were added at congressional direction. The Federal agency states that four of the five projects that were not congressionally directed are needed to meet program objectives. How- ever, it has not adequately clarified the unique contributions each project will make toward meeting the objectives or why fewer projects and existing information are not sufficient, In addition, the planned evaluation of these projects should be strengthened. \tE osT4 ' 0/ 3615 4 oCE- 9l6 AUGUST 19, 1980$
