ART delayed due to regulatory problems
Michele Arbogast | March 25David Harper, inspector general for the City of Albuquerque, said in November of 2017 he discovered the Albuquerque Rapid Transit project had numerous non-compliance issues, regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act. Harper said an independent auditor provided a 30-page report that confirmed the Build Your Dreams company, who manufactured the buses, met the federal guidelines for at least 60 percent of bus guidelines. Harper said he contacted the mayor’s office and the city council in January, stating he would be initiating a formal review focused on “funding and quality oversight.”
