VDOT Improves On-Time Performance

The Virginia Department of Transportation has reported that it completed 75 percent of its construction projects and 74 percent of its maintenance projects on time in fiscal year 2005. That compares to only 36 percent of construction projects completed on time the previous year, and 51 percent of its maintenance projects.

In its final quarterly report for Fiscal 2005, VDOT also noted that it completed 78 percent of its construction work within its planned budget, up from 73 percent the previous year. Budgetary performance on maintenance work was about the same.

Over the past year, the report noted, the number of VDOT employees shrank from 10,001 to 9,126.
