[Decision Concerning Transfer of UMTA Unobligated Balances]

The Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) requested a decision regarding whether it could transfer unobligated budget balances from one construction and operations grant appropriation to another. GAO held that the applicable appropriation act did not prohibit UMTA from transferring the funds. Accordingly, UMTA may transfer unobligated budget balances from one appropriation account to another.
