What Did the State Auditor Say about VDOT? (Part II)
What else did the state auditor have to say about the massive problems with VDOT and the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB)?
"The Commonwealth lacks a statement of clear objectives regarding transportation plans. Most of the plans designed and implemented were in response to a specific problem rather than part of an intricate statewide plan with specific and measurable objectives. Specific objectives for improving the Commonwealth’s transportation system include providing a seamless transportation network throughout the state by improving interconnections between all transportation modes. Coordination between all Transportation agencies is an integral part to the future success of the Commonwealth’s Transportation system." Page 7.
Another serious defect exists that causes waste and inefficiency. Why should we pay higher taxes until these problems are fixed? Would an investment banker give funds to a company that had this type of problem? Certainly not. Why shouldn't taxpayers be equally well protected?
