Abstract The purpose of this study is to identify the difference between the Metropolitan Transit Development Board (MTDB) procedures and those which would have been required if the system had been built using federal monies. The procedures which will be evaluated include those for planning and engineering, purchasing, contract administration, "buy America" requirements, construction standards, operating plans and labor contracts. For example, MTDB essentially omitted the preliminary engineering phase, going directly from feasibility studies to final design. Also, the light rail vehicles were purchased before final approvals were obtained for the project. Undoubtedly, other differences will be identified. Six methodologies were identified which will be utilized in this "Implementation Process" study: (A) Liaison or Advisory Groups; (B) Position Papers by Advisory Group Members; (C) Questionnaires; (D) Catalogue of Regulations; (E) Functional Responsibility Matrix; and (F) Base Case (Minimum Reasonable Cost).
