Summary

S 831 eliminates the existing Department of Transportation Commission and moves all of its duties to a Secretary of Transportation appointed by the governor. It gives the Secretary broad authority over highway planning, public‑private transit contracts, tolls, choice‑lane projects, and requires ethics training and a new pothole‑mitigation reporting system. The changes aim to streamline DOT operations, expand funding options, and improve road maintenance transparency.
