Director and Division of Planning
 Develop state-wide strategic transportation plan and the statewide transportation improvement program(STIP)
 Develop annual capital construction project list for budget
submission (which must be included in TIPs and STIP)
 Review and make TIP recommendations to Governor(except in
Metro Atlanta), negotiate TIP changes with MPOs

Statewide Strategic
Transportation Plan
 Per SB 200, SSTP must be developed with
consideration of 10 listed “investment policies”
Growth in jobs, Access to jobs
Reduced traffic congestion
Improved reliability of commutes
Improved freight movement
Better land use coordination
Market driven demand management
Optimize maintenance investments
Improved safety
Border to Border Interregional connectivity
Support local projects that provide connectivity to statewide network

IT3 STRATEGIC DIRECTION
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
•Supporting Georgia’s economic growth and competitiveness
•Improve access to jobs which encourages growth in private sector employment and
work force
•Reduction in congestion costs
•Improve efficiency and reliability of commutes in major metropolitan markets
•Efficiency and reliability of freight, cargo, and goods movement
•Provide border to border interregional connectivity
•Support local connectivity to statewide transportation network
•Ensure safety and security
•Reduction in crashes resulting in injury and loss of life
•Maximize the value of Georgia’s transportation assets
•Optimize Capitol asset management
•Minimize the impact of transportation on the environment
•Reduce emissions, improve air quality statewide, and limit our footprint

▪
Per capita congestion costs nearly double today’s levels
Employment center talent pools 33% smaller than today
Core transit system operating at 70% of current levels
Xpress bus service and other transit systems cut or
eliminated
▪ Medium-sized cities at best experience “Atlanta-like” or
“Charlotte-like” levels of congestion. At worst, expected
population and job growth choked off before that occurs
▪ Safety improves, but rural job center accessibility
remains unchanged (e.g., minimal GRIP investments)
Freight
transport
▪ Economic upside (GDP and jobs) from port expansion at
risk, despite investments in last-mile connectivity
▪ Other growth opportunities may head to competitors
(e.g., VA, NY/NJ) as priority freight corridors see 60%
peak traffic increase without corresponding capacity

SUMMARY
▪
With existing resources, at most half of the “burning platform” programs can be
completed
▪
There are clear benefits to securing additional resources
– Roughly $375-480 billion* in economic growth and 325,000-425,000 jobs for the
whole state if user fees (e.g., tolling) are combined with a resource equivalent
to a penny sales tax. This level of investment improves quality of life, captures the
upside in freight and logistics, and improves access to talent pools across the state. It
also brings Georgia in line with what other states are investing in new capacity (~0.5%
of state GDP) and the outcomes they expect to achieve
– As a secondary option, “direct user fees alone” can deliver substantial mobility
benefits in Metro Atlanta (e.g., increase in fast, reliable trips). While this is important
(prevents a slowdown in a large growth engine), a “toll only” approach will leave
Georgia well short of its objectives on freight and people mobility across the state
– Balancing capacity investments with policy levers (e.g., coordinated
development) will help deliver greater value from the state’s limited resources
▪
Two critical elements are now going to be in place to implement the transportation plan:
– Enhanced GDOT governance with outcomes-based, data-driven planning
– Business case for transportation investment
