A legislature also may create commissions or task forces to provide additional oversight or carry out discrete tasks. For example, the Arkansas Blue Ribbon Committee on Highway Finance, for example, was created by Act 374 of 2009 to involve the public in determining adequate financing of the present and future needs of state highways, county roads and city streets in the state; define an equitable and adequate system to properly finance transportation improvements; and propose and recommend legislation in 2011. The Texas House Select Committee on Transportation Funding was established in 2010 to examine and make recommendations about state transportation funding prior to the 2011 session. The ongoing Virginia Joint Commission on Transportation Accountability exists to ascertain that sums appropriated have been or are being expended by transportation agencies for the purposes for which they were made, and to evaluate the effectiveness of transportation programs in accomplishing legislative intent.
