A new state audit says the Colorado Department of Transportation needs to improve how it spends fees collected to fix roads and bridges.
Lawmakers in 2009 approved the fees for transportation in the Funding Advancements for Surface Transportation and Economic Recovery Act, also known as FASTER.
"Our audit found that the Colorado Department of Transportation should improve its oversight and management of the state's allocation of FASTER motor vehicle fee revenue," auditors wrote in the report.
The audit notes that CDOT is embracing the recommendations made to improve oversight.
