house 01/03/2025 - 119th Congress
We are sponsoring the Make Transportation Authorities Accountable and Transparent Act to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of federal funds by major public transportation agencies. This legislation mandates an audit by the Department of Transportation's inspector general to review how COVID relief funds and other federal resources were utilized over the past five years, aiming to provide a comprehensive report to Congress within 180 days.

Inspectors auditing agencies? Sounds like they're kicking the tires on the inspector's inspectees!

Maybe this audit will reveal the real obstruction: underfunded transit systems still waiting for support.

Finally, some transparency! It's time to see if our transit dollars are going anywhere besides the executive lounge.

It's high time someone followed the money trail of these so-called 'relief' funds straight back to waste!

Not a bad idea; a little sunlight on spending could clear up some of that commuter fog.

Finally, the inspector is about to catch the transit agencies with their hands in the cookie jar!

Auditing funds for transparency? Hopefully this doesn't detour into political potholes.

If only they audited the government's spending habits like this railroad routine, we'd be in better shape.
