  • Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission
    Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission A Compliance Audit June 2008 Jack Wagner, Auditor General Pennsylvania Department of the Auditor General Bureau of Special Performance Audits June 13, 2008 The Honorable Edward G. Rendell Governor Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17120 Dear Governor Rendell: Enclosed is our report that presents the results of our audit of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission. Act 122 of 1988 requires the Department of the Auditor General to conduct, on a quadrennial basis, a financial audit and a compliance audit (i.e., a type of performance audit) of the affairs and activities of the Commission. Our compliance/performance audit covers the period of January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2005, unless otherwise indicated, and was conducted in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards as issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. With regard to the financial audit, we have followed the same practice that my predecessors have followed since Act 122 went into effect, meaning that we did not conduct our own four-year financial audit and instead reviewed audits and supporting documentation of the independent firm who audits the Commission’s financial statements annually. Accordingly, we have reviewed those financial audits and the applicable working papers for the four fiscal years ending May 31, 2002, through May 31, 2005. My legal staff has advised me that this practice is sufficient to satisfy our mandate in Act 122. The compliance/performance audit report accompanying this letter is the first audit of the Turnpike Commission released during my administration. Focusing on the Commission’s performance with regard to safety, we found that safety is indeed a goal throughout the organization.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. What is the R6 Norristown Line Service Extension Study ? The purpose of the R6 Norristown Line Service Extension Study was to determine the viability of restoring lower cost passenger rail service between communities along the US Route 422 corridor in Montgomery, Chester and Berks counties and Center City Philadelphia. The study included a simplified service plan from the previous studies done by SEPTA and the Governor’s Task Force, and looked to determine if some method of tolling the US 422 Expressway could help to finance the rail capital costs. The objectives of the project are as follows: • Provide another transportation option in the congested US 422 corridor . Commuter rail service would provide another transportation option for residents commuting to Philadelphia and help reduce traffic in this rapidly developing region in Pennsylvania. • Contribute to downtown revitalization efforts in the corridor . Towns along the US 422 corridor wish to use the reinstitution of commuter rail service to act as a catalyst for development and redevelopment. • Explore funding mechanisms to improve local transportation infrastructure . Innovative funding sources and financing techniques should be identified that could pay for rail service and perhaps other needed transportation projects in the US 422 corridor. 2. What are the limits of the R6 study area? The study includes the Norfolk Southern rail corridor located between the Norristown Transportation Center in Norristown, Montgomery County and Wyomissing in Berks County. Spanning Montgomery, Chester and Berks counties, the corridor is approximately 44 miles long. 3. Which agencies / organizations are involved with the study?
