Seen in the Courant:
Gov. Rell today announced she intends to disband the state DOT by 2010, splitting the agency into two separate departments: a Department of Highways, and a Department of Public Transportation, Aviation, and Ports.[...]
Genuario said “The old DOT has become too bureaucratic, too inefficient and too single-minded in its approach to problem solving.”
“Bold reforms are necessary if citizens are to obtain a level of transportation services to which they are entitled and if the state is to realize intended results of initiatives adopted over the past three years,” Genuario said.
Also included in the transportation section of the Governor’s State of the State address was a proposal to make Bradley an independent operation.
Now, a dumb question: If part of the problem with ConnDOT is that it’s too bureaucratic, how does replacing one bureaucracy with two improve the situation?
