Frazier bill would create independent transportation oversight office

Wednesday, February 20, 2019

SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Jim Frazier (D-Discovery Bay) has introduced AB 380, a bill to create the Independent Office of the Transportation Inspector General, which would be an autonomous entity in state government with oversight over all transportation spending in state government.

“Mismanagement at the Department of Motor Vehicles, cost overruns and poor contract management at the High-Speed Rail Authority, and the final cost of the Bay Bridge are examples of why we need truly independent oversight over the tens of billions of dollars the state spends each year on transportation,” said Frazier, who chairs the Assembly Transportation Committee.
