HB 2227 - DIGEST

Declares that it is essential that the legislature improve the accountability and efficiency of transportation-related agencies and measure transportation system performance against benchmarks established in chapter 5, Laws of 2002. Taxpayers must know that their tax dollars are being well spent to deliver critically needed transportation projects and services. To accomplish this, the transportation performance audit board is created and a system of transportation functional and performance audits is established to provide oversight and accountability of transportation-related agencies.
