An Act to improve transportation oversight

This bill amends Massachusetts state laws to strengthen oversight of the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport). It extends the term of the Massport Board of Directors from five to six years and adds the division of transportation reviews to the list of entities the state auditor must oversee. Additionally, the legislation requires the state auditor to conduct a comprehensive audit of Massport every two years, with the authority covering the cost of these reviews. These changes aim to increase transparency and accountability within the transportation authority without altering its operational powers.
