• Abstract:
  In 2000, the Blue Ribbon Commission on Transportation identified many faults with our transportation system, and recommended eighteen areas of improvement to rebuild public trust, engage the private sector in a transportation partnership, and get our state moving again. Five years later, most of those recommendations have been adopted, and strict accountability standards are in place. Performance audits of the Department of Transportation and all significant projects are moving ahead. Workplace efficiencies have been implemented. There's a greater role for private sector investment. It's easier to get needed permits while still protecting the environment. And critical new transportation investments have been made across the state.
