On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) into law in response to the economic
crisis facing the nation. The Act provides for unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability so that taxpayers know where their tax
dollars are being spent. Spearheaded by a new Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, the Act contains built-in measures to detect and
prevent waste, fraud, or mismanagement of recovery spending. As a member of the Recovery Board, and consistent with the OIG’s ongoing mission,
the Inspector General is committed to providing active oversight of recovery spending throughout Department of Transportation programs, contracts
and grants.
For further information about the OIG’s recovery oversight efforts, please contact Madeline Chulumovich, Special Assistant for Economic
Recovery at (202) 366-6512 or madeline.chulumovich@oig.dot.gov.
