Audit faults supervision of PA vehicle fleet

Pennsylvania Auditor General Jack Wagner has faulted the Department of General Services for "weak leadership, incomplete record-keeping and little accountability" in how 16,000 state vehicles were being assigned and maintained.

"With the commonwealth facing a multibillion-dollar budget deficit, DGS must seize the wheel and take control of Pennsylvania's vehicle fleet, to save taxpayer dollars and to ensure the public that the privilege of operating a state vehicle is not being abused," Wagner said in releasing his findings.

Wagner said reforms must address three main deficiencies: program decentralization, lack of proper documentation, and lack of transparency.

He recommended eight steps that DGS should take to improve leadership and accountability.
