A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO IMPLEMENT A RECOMMENDATION OF THE GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE AUDIT COMMITTEE THAT DIVISION TRAFFIC SERVICES BE REALIGNED TO FOCUS ON SIGNAL-RELATED SERVICES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The General Assembly finds that Division Traffic Services units are variously organized, with some units having all field forces reporting to the Division Traffic Services Supervisor and others having signal-related forces assigned to the Assistant Division Traffic Engineer in a Traffic Control Technical Services unit.  The latter arrangement provides a better balance of technical and nontechnical traffic services personnel among the middle management positions within this unit, resulting in a more equitable span of control among these supervisory personnel.  This alignment recognizes the increasingly technical aspects of traffic signal planning and implementation, while also providing for a more balanced distribution of Traffic Services staff among the Traffic Services supervisors.
Sec. 2.  The Secretary of Transportation shall realign the Traffic Services sections of the 14 Traffic Divisions so that the signal/traffic control personnel report to the Assistant Traffic Engineer and pavement markings/signs personnel report to the Traffic Services Supervisor.
Sec. 3.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1993.
