County, cities collaborate on regional transportation project list

Gwinnett County, the cities, and four Community Improvement Districts worked together to create a comprehensive, combined list of potential transportation projects to submit to the state transportation planning director and the Atlanta Regional Commission. These projects will be considered for inclusion in the metro Atlanta region's project list for the Transportation Investment Act of 2010.

Local governments were asked to submit potential projects for consideration in advance of a referendum for a 10-year, one percent regional transportation sales tax to be considered by voters in 2012. The submitted list will first be reviewed by the Georgia DOT Planning Director Todd Long, who will provide the Metro Atlanta Regional Roundtable with an unconstrained list for funding consideration. The project selection process for the referendum will include substantial public involvement and will continue throughout the summer and fall of this year.
