Welcome to the Joint Study Committee on Transportation Funding website!
The Committee recognizes that transportation is a critical resource in the State of Georgia in providing a high quality of life for residents across the state, and that transportation is essential to commerce and the provision of goods and services to the people of this state, to getting the citizens of Georgia to the workplace, medical facilities, and educational facilities, to the tourism industry, and to every facet of the lives of Georgia citizens.
Since finding the necessary funds to maintain and improve our transportation systems and infrastructure is becoming increasingly difficult, new sources and methods of funding transportation projects are needed to allow the transportation systems in Georgia to keep up with the needs of the population.
Therefore, the Joint Study Committee on Transportation will study these issues to determine alternative funding mechanisms for transportation projects and special funding sources. » View Senate Resolution 365
