POGO Urges USDOT Secretary Peters to Investigate the Traffic.com Scam

The Project on Government Oversight (POGO) just posted a very pointed letter that they are sending to U.S. Dept. of Transportation Secretary Mary Peters (and copying key legislators), urging the Secretary to request an investigation into the USDOT's support for Traffic.com's ongoing monopoly.

This letter strongly supports the earlier efforts by Senator Hatch to open up this earmarked program to competition, and Congressman Weiner's recent letters to USDOT Inspector General Scovel and Congressman DeFazio, formally requesting an investigation and oversight hearing, respectively.

Onward and upward.
