Anyone with first-hand, non-public information that their employer is engaging in any of these activities has the ability to become a qui tam relator.  Qui tam relators generally do a public service by helping to enforce the law, by bringing information about wrongdoing to light, by helping to punish unethical businesses, and so forth. The area of transportation fraud, however, gives us an excellent example of how qui tam relators can help enforce laws relating to public safety.
