Summary

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 designated $20 million to DOT OIG through Fiscal Year 2013 to conduct audits and investigations of DOT projects and activities funded by ARRA. In anticipation of ARRA’s passage, we initiated a three–phase approach to conducting related audit and investigative work, expanded our investigative outreach efforts, and maximized new funding and program flexibilities. The actions we have taken and plan to take will help position our Office to meet the increased workload under ARRA and protect the Federal investment over the long term.
