Hampton Roads Transit's new president and CEO, Philip Shucet, called for an investigation by the Virginia Department of Transportation Inspector General on the agency's handling of Norfolk's light rail starter line.
Among findings:
- Months before signing legal documents assuring federal officials they could build light rail for $232 million, HRT leaders knew it would actually cost tens of millions of dollars more.
- HRT senior officials maintained a separate, internal accounting of light rail costs that was intentionally kept "secret" from government entities footing the bills.
