District of Columbia Department of Transportation

The District of Columbia Department of Transportation (or DDOT, pronounced "dee-dot") is an agency of the government of the District of Columbia which manages and maintains publicly owned transportation infrastructure in the District of Columbia. DDOT is the lead agency with authority over the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of alleys, bridges, sidewalks, streets, street lights, and traffic signals in the District of Columbia.〔("About DDOT." District of Columbia Department of Transportation. No date. ) Accessed 2010-01-08〕
==History==
DDOT was originally known as the Division of Transportation, and was a subunit of the District of Columbia Department of Public Works (DPW).〔(Ungar, Bernard L. ''Restructuring of the District of Columbia Department of Public Works' Division of Transportation.'' GAO-01-347R. Washington, D.C.: United States General Accounting Office, March 16, 2001. ) Accessed 2010-01-08〕〔(Goldstein, Mark L. ''District of Columbia’s Department of Transportation's Reorganization and Use of Federal-Aid Funding.'' GAO-04-644R. Washington, D.C.: United States General Accounting Office, May 14, 2004. ) Accessed 2010-01-08〕 The division began suffering from significant deficiencies in the 1990s, including an over-reliance on outside contractors, a lack of expertise with which to oversee contractors and ensure performance and quality work, severe understaffing, and excessive lead times for the letting and implementing of design and construction contracts.〔 These issues led to significant backlogs in maintenance and construction, and hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funds were unexpended.〔
In response to the impending management crisis in its transportation division, in May 2002 the Council of the District of Columbia passed the ''District Department of Transportation Establishment Act of 2002'' (D.C. Law 14-137), which separated the Division of Transportation from the Department of Public Works and created a standalone D.C. Department of Transportation.〔〔Kovaleski, Serge F. "Uneven Progress Marks Williams's Busy Term." ''Washington Post.'' September 1, 2002.〕 A 2004 assessment indicated that the reorganization led to significant improvements in the District of Columbia's oversight of its transportation infrastructure.〔
