- 01
How would regular audits of federal transit spending help identify whether money is being used effectively versus being wasted?
- 02
What additional costs might public transit agencies face to comply with these new audit requirements, and who would ultimately pay those costs?
- 03
Should the bill specify a timeline and budget for these audits, or is leaving those details flexible more practical for the Inspector General?
