Georgia Navigator (Great site for road closures statewide)  

Welcome to the website for NAVIGATOR, the Georgia Department of Transportation's Intelligent Transportation System (ITS).

Highway and road conditions change in the blink of an eye. As we all know, inclement weather, roadway debris, stalled vehicles and accidents can quickly cause traffic on our interstates to slow, come to a creeping crawl or stop altogether. Traffic leads to lost time, money and increased frustration.

ACTION ALERT: YOUR VOTE & VOICE NEEDED AT THE GEORGIA LEGISTURE-

ONLY 7 DAYS LEFT UNDER THE GOLD DOME.

 

Transportation Funding Down to the Wire - Your Voice Needed   Anyone who drives in metro Atlanta knows that traffic congestion is a problem. But many don’t realize that some $4 billion of transportation projects have been removed from the region’s long-range transportation plan due to a lack of funding, a critical problem across Georgia.   That means that not only do we have traffic challenges today, but things will most assuredly get worse if nothing changes. The people of metro Atlanta and all of Georgia need the help of the General Assembly to correct this, and we need it now.  We have 7 legislative days left to convince our legislators that transportation is a critical issue and that we deserve a chance to vote on a regional sales tax for transportation.   A Transportation Conference Committee from both houses of the Legislature is currently working to finalize a bill that will allow for such a referendum. ARC urges you to contact one or all of the six committee members today and tell them that you support their efforts. Let them know that you support a bill that meets the following criteria: The project selection process should be led by local officials.      After all, this is a local tax. It must include funding for all modes of transportation, including       the expansion, maintenance and operation of transit. It should be flexible enough that each region can determine     critical issues, like timing of the referendum and how long the tax lasts.      Again, it's a local tax.       You can make a difference by sending at least one fax or email today. Now is the time for transportation solutions!   Conference Committee Members SENATE:   Tommy Williams – President Pro Tempore FAX: 404-463-5220 Tommie.Williams@senate.ga.gov   Jeff Mullis – Chairman, Senate Transportation Committee FAX: 404-651-6768 Jeff.Mullis@senate.ga.gov   Preston Smith- Chairman, Judiciary Committee FAX: 404-463-4161 Preston.Smith@senate.ga.gov   HOUSE:       Jerry Keen – Majority Leader FAX: 404-656-5902 Jerry.keen@house.ga.gov   Jay Roberts – Chairman, Transportation Committee FAX: 404-656-6700 Jay.roberts@house.ga.gov   Donna Sheldon – Majority Caucus Chair FAX: 404-657-8278 Donna.sheldon@house.ga.gov
