Top Management Challenges

We identified 10 top management challenges for the Department of Transportation for FY 2004, as required by law. In considering the items for this list, we continue our focus on the Department’s key responsibilities for transportation safety and efficiency. The issues comprising this year’s reports are highway safety, aviation safety, hazardous materials safety and security, protecting taxpayer investments in highway and transit infrastructure projects, improving FAA’s fiscal discipline, intercity passenger rail, MARAD’s loan-guarantee program, financial accountability, the disadvantaged business enterprise program, and information technology management.
