DOT/OIG Infrastructure (GSS)

The US Department of Transportation (DOT) / Office of Inspector General (OIG) Infrastructure (GSS) system is the enterprise management information system that provides local area networking (LAN) resources and access to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications used by OIG staff and management for tracking and reporting capabilities in the areas of audits, investigations and mission-support services.

The Act also allows US DOT OIG to collect information on any individual, subcontractors, grantees and/or incidents subject to investigations within the purview of the Act. Sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) can be collected on current and former DOT employees, DOT contractors and their employees, grantees and any other business entities and their employees. Additionally, some PII is collected through OIG public facing website (https://www.oig.dot.gov/ ).
