Report No. GAO-18-462
Summary:

The Federal Transit Administration's Capital Investment Grants program is the main source of federal funds for local transit projects such as light rail and street cars. FTA decides which projects to recommend to Congress for funding based on criteria set by Congress, such as the level of economic benefit and congestion relief.

We found that the agency had not addressed three congressional requirements for the grants program, in part because the program was slated to be cut. However, funding was restored. We recommended that FTA start developing the regulations and meet the requirements.

A proposed second track for the Indiana South Shore commuter line train is one of the projects seeking funds through the Federal Transit Administration's Capital Investment Grants program
