Transportation Accountability Commission

In 2006, Gov. Timothy M. Kaine issued Executive Order 37, creating Virginia’s Transportation Accountability Commission.

The commission’s primary responsibilities were to:
 

• Review existing methods used to measure transportation system performance and agency performance and accountability
  
  
• Recommend improvements to ensure that the transportation system delivers the maximum value to taxpayers
  
  
• Ensure transportation agencies are held accountable for their performance, and investigate quantifiable measures of the impact on communities of transportation projects

The commission forwarded an interim report to the governor and the General Assembly on May 30, 2007, and a final report on Oct. 30, 2007.
